The effects can be misleading when interviewing job applicants. For example, a well-qualified candidate who arrives late for an interview, for a good reason, may be passed over as a bad timekeeper, while a poorly qualified but punctual and well-groomed candidate may be offered the...

halo effect Quick reference
A Dictionary of Human Resource Management (3 ed.)
...halo effect ( horns effect ) An overall positive view of someone based on one or two characteristics the person possesses. For example, in a work situation, because people are sociable, you might assume they are good salespersons; or because they have degrees in engineering you assume they will be competent managers. In other words, it is a form of bias which overemphasizes one quality in a person and ignores other, equally important characteristics. The opposite of the halo effect (sometimes called the horns effect) can also occur: you judge a person...

... effect The tendency for a positive impression made in one context to be used to influence judgement in another. It is a form of cognitive bias that means that we focus on positive qualities to the exclusion of negative ones. It is often unconscious. For example, if we find someone engaging and witty on first meeting them in a social setting, we may assume they will be clever with good interpersonal skills in the context of a particular workplace role, even though it shares no similarities with the original context and we have no evidence to support our...

It is a form of cognitive bias that means that we focus on negative qualities to the exclusion of positive ones. It is often unconscious. For example, if we feel our line manager has been too abrupt and inconsiderate of our feelings on an occasion, we may struggle to see anything that they do in a positive light and consider them unsuited to communicating effectively with other employees, even in other—unrelated—contexts. This can be particularly...

...information may influence consumers’ behavior and choices for products currently covered (e.g., beef, poultry) and not yet covered (e.g., raw seafood) in the legislation. Burton, Cook, Howlett, and Newman, ( 2015 ) show how nutrition information helps consumers correct misperceptions about a product’s health profile. Blanket assumptions about beef (e.g., “red meat is bad for you”—a health “horn”) and poultry (e.g., “white meat is good for you”—a health “halo”) are not always consistent with the calorie and nutrient content of products in these categories....

There was a taboo on nudity: Adam and Eve, and Christ during the Passion, wore soft leather body-stockings; the Good and Bad Souls at Doomsday wore white or black leather or canvas ones.

Aqueous vehicles will not spread uniformly and reliably on the metal surfaces of types and plates, and the process of movable type printing attributed to Johann Gutenberg c. 1450 depended on, among other things, the development of a suitable ink. The ink used in Gutenberg's productions is considered to be of very high quality, being densely black and free of an oily halo formation around the letters. Inks for typographic and other relief-printing generally used a...

Haloes of various kinds—circular, rayed and flame or mandorla—are encountered in Islamic painting. Billowing clouds around inscriptions in manuscripts may be intended to sanctify them and thus act as yet another kind of halo. Various types of metalwork, too, exploited the multiple associations of light, for example by allegorical inscriptions of Sufi intent: candlesticks, incense burners, torchstands, candelabra and polykandela.

The observation enters into an artist's field of vision haloed, or highlighted, by further meaning the artist imparts to it. When artists try to explain the effect of visionary obligation on their work as artists, they speak of the experience as one of becoming a “medium.” Not infrequently, the artist subsequently becomes learned in the Earth sciences. Artists draw on the resources of...

In addition GM seed companies argue that the adoption of GM crops helps to reduce the application of pesticides, which has a direct impact on the sustainability of the cropping systems ( Lal, 2004 ) as well as profitability for farmers ( Morse, Mannion, & Evans, 2011 ). Some have even suggested that the production of GM crops creates a halo effect for nearby non-GM crops by reducing pest pressures within regions that are primarily...

The development of more complex iconographic programmes in glass corresponded to that in other forms of monumental art, especially sculpture. Many programmes have come down to us incomplete, so that the reconstruction of the original placement of panels, and their iconographic significance, are often problematic. It is certain, however, that the themes that dominate the history of glass until c. 1540 —typology, hagiography, and local references to donors and...

The first examples, like the engaged borders of the ivories and the metalwork altars, were in one piece with the painted ground. The panel had its surface lowered by gouging into a shallow box shape, the surrounding wall of which became the frame. The whole panel was then covered in gesso and gold leaf, the image being painted on the smooth, sunken surface. Patterns could then be punched into the gilded gesso to define robes, haloes, the junction of picture and...
