Episode 557 - The Halo vs Horn effect, What’s Your First impression?


Listen Later

This episode delves into the psychology of first impressions, focusing on the halo and horn effects. The halo effect is when one positive trait of a person influences our perception of their other qualities, while the horn effect is when one negative trait does the same negatively.

Kurt discusses how these cognitive biases impact persuasion and influence, offers practical tips for maximizing positive first impressions, and shares real-life examples and academic studies. He also answers a listener email about these effects and provides actionable advice on improving personal and professional interactions.
