The horns effect is the tendency to allow one negative trait or work factor to overshadow the other positive performance elements resulting in an unfairly low overall performance rating. The contrast effect is the evaluation of an employee's performance based on the comparison to the performance of others rather than their own actual performance. The recency effect is the tendency to give more weight to the most recent events rather than considering the entire performance period.
