The tendency to rate people relative to others rather than against performance standards is known as contrast error. The halo effect refers to the tendency to generalize positive or negative traits from one aspect of a person to all aspects. The horns effect is the opposite, where one negative trait leads to an overall negative impression. The strictness error refers to consistently rating employees lower than deserved.
