Anchors are very influential on how we think subsequent to the anchor being set. Once an anchor has been presented to us, our subsequent judgments and decisions are influenced by it, even if we are not aware of it. Studies have shown that people tend to rely too heavily on the initial information, or anchor, when making decisions. This effect can be seen in a wide range of contexts, from how much we are willing to pay for a product to how we evaluate job candidates.
