Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Halo Effect is a cognitive bias in which one's positive physical attributes or behaviors are assumed to be indicative of positive character traits. Arian's appearance and smile are positive physical attributes, therefore, we are most likely to ascribe positive character traits to him, such as kindness or friendliness (option C). It is not necessarily true that he is a good student (option A), gets a lot of dates (option B), highly narcissistic (option D), or has low self-esteem (option E) solely based on his appearance and smile.
