Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

The halo effect is a cognitive bias where our overall impression of a person influences how we perceive and interpret their specific traits or actions. This means that if we have a positive impression of someone, we are more likely to see their individual qualities or behaviors in a positive light, and vice versa.

An example of the halo effect is when a celebrity endorses a product. Because the public has a positive impression of the celebrity, they are more likely to view the product in a positive light, even if they have no prior knowledge or experience with it. This can lead to increased sales for the product simply because of the positive association with the celebrity.
