The Halo-effect

Get to know about the Halo-effect.

The Halo-effect, basically is about what you think about one thing that you could also judge as it's similar with one another.

When reading through those Sociology topics that we are going to be tested on, I found this word in topic 4 which it talks about "Differential achievement" that in terms of social class, why middle-class children do better at school; the Halo-effect is one of those factors.

If applying the Halo-effect on this question, despite all the material things the children could get, how they appeared in front of everyone, even teachers, the possibility of getting better impression would results; meanwhile, the Halo-effect from teachers might cause distort among students where the middle-class children could be easily praised but not the others.

The phrase is also now well-known and being used in the Business world which can be applied on the similar condition.
