halo effect

Introduction

Introduction The Halo Effect, also known as the "halo effect", belongs to the category of psychology. The halo effect means that people's cognitive judgments on others are first based on the individual's likes and dislikes, and then inferred from this judgment. Other quality phenomena of cognitive objects. If the cognitive object is marked as "good", he will be enveloped by the "good" aperture and given all good qualities. If the cognitive object is marked as "bad", he will be shrouded in a "bad" aperture, and all his qualities will be considered bad. This kind of strong perception of quality or characteristics, like the halo of the moon form, diffuses and spreads around, thus concealing other qualities or characteristics, so it is called the halo effect.

Cause

Cause

Cause:

From the perspective of psychology, the cause of the halo effect is related to one of our perceptual characteristics, holistic. When we perceive objective things, we do not perceive the individual attributes or parts of the perceptual objects in isolation, but always tend to perceive objects with different attributes and different parts as a unified whole. This is because of the perceptual object. Various attributes and parts are organically linked into a complex stimuli.

For example, when we close our eyes and only smell the apple, or just touch the shape of the apple, we have a complete impression of the apple in our mind, because experience makes up for other characteristics of the apple, such as color (green Reddish), taste (sweet), touch (smooth), and so on. Because of the holistic effect of perception, we can perceive objective things quickly and clearly. "Seeing the whole leopard in a glimpse", we don't need to perceive each individual attribute one by one.

The halo effect on human perception also lies in the role of implicit personality theory. There are inherent connections between some qualities of a person. For example, enthusiastic people tend to be more friendly, more humorous, and willing to help others, easy to get along with. The "indifferent" people are more lonely, old-fashioned, and unwilling to ask for people, which is more difficult to get along with. In this way, as long as someone has a core feature of "enthusia" or "indifference", we will naturally complement other related features.

In addition, in terms of human personality structure, various personality traits are always connected and mutually restricted in each specific person. For example, people who are brave and upright and do not fear the characteristics of violent personality often show their enthusiasm and enthusiasm in dealing with others. They dare to act boldly and gracefully and gracefully on the outside. And a person who has selfishness, bullying and fear of hard character will show hypocrisy and insidiousness in other aspects, or have different opinions, or flattery, or arrogance. These characteristics will also be reflected in the expression of behavior. Therefore, people can not only perceive their inner feelings from the outside, but also from the generalization of internal character characteristics to the evaluation of external appearance. This produces a halo effect.

Specifically in three aspects:

The first is concealment. Sometimes the individual characteristics of the things we grasp do not reflect the essence of things, but we are still accustomed to individual pushes, generals, and partial pushes, and it is bound to be forced to introduce other features by mistake. Randomly catching a good or bad feature asserts that this person is either intangible or incompetent, and has made a one-sided mistake. The "love at first sight" in youth love is because some aspect of the object conforms to its own aesthetics, and often ignores the mismatches in thoughts, sentiments, and personality. It feels that the object is "the fairy with aura", everything All are as good as they want. Similarly, in daily life, it is innumerable to ignore the merits of one person because of their poor impression.

The second is superficiality. The halo effect often arises from the fact that one's understanding of a person is not deep, that is, it is still in the stage of feeling and perception, and thus is susceptible to the selective influence of the surface, locality and perception of feeling, thus understanding someone. Focus only on some external features. There is no intrinsic connection between some personality qualities or appearance features, but we can easily link them together. It is asserted that this feature has another feature and will cover the internal essence in an external form. If the appearance is upright, it may not be a gentleman, and it looks like a smile, not necessarily face and kindness. Simply linking these different qualities, the overall impression is necessarily superficial.

It is diffuse. The overall attitude towards a person will also affect things related to the specific characteristics of this person. The idioms of "love house and black", "disgusting monk, hate and jealousy" are the embodiment of the halo effect dispersion. A story is told in "Han Feizi. Saying Difficulty". Wei Linggong is very fond of getting out of the court. Once, the mother of Mizi was sick. When he learned it, he sneaked into the car of Wei Linggong and rushed home.

According to the laws of the Weiguo, the car that steals the monarch is sentenced to gauntlet (cut off the foot). However, Wei Linggong praised Mi Zi's filial piety mother. Once again, Mi Zizhen and Wei Linggong traveled to Taoyuan. He picked a peach and ate it. He felt very sweet. He gave the bitten peach to Wei Linggong, and Wei Linggong praised him for his heart. Later, Mi Zis age was declining and he was not favored. Wei Linggong did not like his appearance and did not like his other qualities. Even the two things that he had praised before were now the "crime of bullying" by Mi Zi.
