Question

multiple choice question
what is the term for the positive qualities attributed to physically attractive people?

facial primacy

personal space

halo effect

ritualistic touch

Explanation:

• Facial primacy refers to the priority given to facial cues in perception, not positive trait attribution.
• Personal space is the physical distance people prefer between themselves and others, unrelated to this concept.
• The halo effect describes the cognitive bias where people assume physically attractive individuals possess other positive qualities (like kindness, intelligence) based solely on their appearance.
• Ritualistic touch refers to culturally specific touching behaviors, which is not relevant here.

Answer:

C. Halo effect
