Halo effect is a kind of phenomenon whereby people tend to believe that one specific character or trait of something depicts other unrelated traits. This kind of assumption is biased since every character stands on his own. Halo effect applies in both negative and positive aspects. An example of allow effect is whereby a person has one good character like honesty people tend to belief that he is good in everything he does. (Millard, 2018)

Stereotyping is a type of belief that people tend to take it as a fact. It tends to make people have a social perception which is inaccurate. This is because people do expect to see what they wish to see or hear hence they fix things to fit their requirements. An example of stereotyping is whereby you see a person you do not know and you start making judgments about their characters.

Selective perception is whereby we are making our own judgment without considering a stimulus of doubt or even stimulus of contradiction towards our beliefs. Selective perception can be dangerous in making conclusions since it ignores some of the essential factors. An example of selective perception is whereby a person takes drinking alcohol or even smoking cigarette is a fun and enjoyable forgetting that excessive drinking and cigarette smoking is harmful to his health.

Projection is an assumption or estimation of future depending on current or past events or occurrence. Projection makes people think of what will happen in future as they compare with what is happening today. For example a business person uses current earnings and profits to estimate the profits they would get in future. If the earnings are increasing in each day the business person tends to belief that in future he will get a lot of profit. Projection may be positive or even negative. (Brooks, 2018)
