Trust & Safety
Halo Effect
The tendency for a positive impression of a person, company, or product in one area to positively influence one's opinion in other areas.
In plain language
A positive impression in one area creates a positive bias across unrelated areas. Beautiful design makes people assume the product is more reliable, secure, and well-thought-out.
