How One Moment Can Shape Our View
一個瞬間如何左右我們的看法
When you look at the Sun, it sometimes appears much larger than its actual size. The circle of light that makes it look bigger is called a halo. In psychology, this idea is used as a metaphor to describe a mental shortcut known as the halo effect. This phenomenon occurs when people form an overall impression of a person based on a single positive trait. If one good quality is observed in an individual, the brain often unconsciously creates a “halo” around that person. As a result, people tend to make quick judgments and assume the person’s other traits are positive as well.
當你看著太陽時，它有時看起來比實際大小大得多。使它看起來更大的光環被稱為日暈。在心理學中，這個概念被用作一種比喻，來描述一種被稱為光環效應的心理捷徑。這種現象發生在人們基於一個人的單一正面特質而對其形成整體印象時。如果在一個人身上觀察到一種優點，大腦通常會在無意識中為這個人創造一個「光環」。因此，人們傾向於快速做出判斷，並假設這個人的其他特質也都是正面的。
