The '''halo effect''' is a theory that posits that various positive traits also increase the (false) impression of other positive traits. E.g. people who are more aesthetically attractive are subconsciously assumed to have a virtuous [[personality]] and to be more healthy and to have higher IQ, none of which is true. The halo effect also goes into the implications of such a subconscious stance, such as the subsequent greater career prospects that better looking people get. The opposite of the halo effect is the [[Failo effect|horn or failo effect]]. | The '''halo effect''' is a theory that posits that various positive traits also increase the (false) impression of other positive traits.
