Concept : The Halo Effect

I met this friend of mine at the age of 16 during one of my tuition class.

She seemed to be a very cheerful and nice girl as she was always smiling. I had

a very good impression on her as I thought she might be a very friendly girl as

what I’ve seen.

We started making friends to each other after a few conversations, there

we exchanged emails and phone numbers. We were still starting to know each

other and then one day something rather not good happened to me, so I looked

out for her. I told her about the problems I encountered in my recent life which

was about my choices of studies being restricted by my dad. I felt really

disappointed for not being able to do what I wanted. Then she went on to cheer

me up by giving my all sort of advices, she tried her best to send all the

information she gathered about the course I will be doing so that it could help to

boost up my confidence in taking that particular course.

After seeing all the nice acts she has done, I developed a rather even

better impression and thoughts about her. She becomes someone I can look up

to, whatever sources she gave me about studies become reliable and I trusted

her a lot. Slowly, I think I started implementing this Halo Effect all on her, Halo

effect which means one positive attribute that causes us to attribute other

positive qualities to an individual. It also bring out the importance of a good first

impression.

For all this while even till now, I still think that everything she does is at her

best. Even if it was just a picture of her taking care of her pet makes me feel that

she has a very kind soul and she must be a very lovely person to the people

around her.
