Detection signals
- Reputation used as proof in unrelated claims.
- Single trait drives broad competence judgments.
- Image-based trust transfer.
Halo effect
One favorable or unfavorable trait spills into unrelated evaluations.
A strong impression about one attribute of a person, brand, or institution influences judgments in domains not supported by direct evidence.
Caution notes
- Reputation signals can be informative but incomplete.
- Mark when spillover replaces case-specific evidence.
