H.I.F.

"The halo effect discussed earlier contributes to coherence, because it inclines us to match our view of all the qualities of a person to our judgment of one attribute that is particularly significant.

Halos can also be negative: if we think a player is ugly, we will probably underrate his athletic ability."
