halo effect
Definition(s)
- This denotes our common habit of assuming that people who impress us on one score possess a whole range of other virtues and are generally admirable. One form of the self-fulfilling prophecy, it is particularly relevant in the sociology of education where it has been found that an initial positive judgement of a child often leads to subsequent bad behaviour being over-looked by teachers or school authorities.
