Why people experience the halo effect
- We form a first impression of someone, then try to prove that that impression is right.
- We may struggle to separate the different traits that an entity is composed of. For example, if we try to assess someone's competence at work, we take irrelevant facts into account, such as how likeable or confident the person is.
- When we have to assess complex factors, we pick the features that stand out or are easy to understand to reduce our cognitive load.
- We rely on past experience.
- We rely on mental shortcuts.
