Fundamental Attribution error is a bias where people associate someone’s personality with a particular attribute. For example, often, an actor is judged by the character he plays. People do not realize that the outer self is not the inner self. The Halo effect is a positive attribution that is given to something for an initial good impression. For instance, a well-behaved student is considered to be intelligent and reasonable.
