Der Halo Effekt - Superpower der schönen Menschen

The video discusses the halo effect, a cognitive bias where the perception of one positive trait influences the perception of other traits. It was first observed by Frederick Wells and studied by Edward Thorndike, who found that military officers were rated based on general impressions rather than specific qualities. The halo effect also affects education, where better-looking students receive higher grades.
