Answer:
- Our perception of one characteristic contaminates our perception of others.
Explanation:
'Halo effect' is demonstrated as the cognitive bias that takes place when an initial positive impression about a person or thing dominates an individual's entire perception about that person or thing.
As per the question, this 'halo effect' occurs when 'our perception of one characteristic contaminates our perception of others' as it leads to dominating an individual's perception or opinion and thus, they tend to show a biased behavior towards that person and treats other as inferior or less impactful due to that 'stereotype fixed in the mind through the initial impression.'
