Exploring Whether the order of revealing the good or bad information will affect the perception of perpetrators? A Mini Review of The Halo Effect

Abstract

Through the understanding of the halo effect, this experiment aims at college students, and then the content of the experiment is whether students' cognitive attitudes towards some criminals will be affected by the sequence of exposure to other high-quality qualities of criminals. This experiment uses the experimental method of controlling variables to test students' attitudes towards criminals through two self-written cases, so as to reduce the influence of students' existing cognition of real cases. The overall experiment will be divided into two groups of experimenters, and the final conclusion is that the order of revealing good or bad information does affect the participants' sympathy for perpetrators, and the exposure of good information is positively related to sympathy for the perpetrator, and vice versa.
