Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The halo effect occurs when we form an overall impression of someone or something based on one trait or characteristic. In the case of professors, if a student is particularly fond of their teaching style, they may rate them highly in all aspects, regardless of their actual performance. Conversely, the horns effect occurs when we form an overall negative impression based on one negative trait or characteristic. Therefore, if a student has a negative experience with a professor, they may rate them low in all aspects, regardless of the professor's actual performance. Both of these effects can be particularly strong in evaluations of professors, making D the most vulnerable to both effects. The other examples may be vulnerable to one or the other, but not typically both.
