The halo effect was initially portrayed in the 1920s by psychologist Edward Thorndike. It is a sort of cognitive bias in which an observer’s general impression of a person influences how we feel and think about that substance’s character. Also‚ it works in both positive and negative direction. For instance‚ if we like one aspect of something‚ we will have a positive predisposition toward it‚ and vice versa to if we dislike‚ we will have a negative predisposition.
