The halo effect is the tendency for an initial impression of a person to influence what we think of them overall. Each side of a situation is essentially blaming the other side rather than thinking about all of the variables that might be playing a role. ![]() The problem with this is that it often leads to misunderstandings. This means we focus on situational forces for ourselves, but guess at the internal characteristics that cause other people's actions. When it comes to other people, however, we cannot see what they are thinking. When we are the actors in a situation, we are able to observe our own thoughts and behaviors. While there are many factors that may play a role, perspective plays a key role.
