This phenomenon is called the contrast effect, where our reaction to a person is influenced by others we have recently encountered. The halo effect is when we have a positive or negative overall impression of someone that influences our evaluation of their specific traits. Confirmation bias is when we seek out information that confirms our pre-existing beliefs. Framing effect is when the way information is presented influences our perception of it. Impact bias is when we overestimate the emotional impact of future events.
