Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The halo effect is a cognitive bias where one particular trait (positive or negative) of a person dominates the observer's overall impression of that person. It is a form of perceptual distortion that affects the way we perceive and interpret information about someone. Stereotyping is a related bias, but it refers to generalizations that are made about groups of people rather than individuals. Perceptual defense and projection are not directly related to the concept described in the question.
