i think the girls being in groups affected the overall reaction too. Consciously or not their own opinions might change because of the other girls' reactions
+jo dallas I think what they should have done was have guys look at a girl's "dating video" with 2 versions and then investigate if gender and the people around us affect our decisions.
+Sam Wheatley that's not the bystander effect you degenerate, the bystander effect is when you choose not to help in an emergency situation because you're relying on others to take care of it, this is an example of conformity where people change their behaviour (or beliefs) due to group pressure
One problem, upbeat girls on a bed while down beat girls at a table. To be truly scientific both groups would assess the videos in the same environment. Being sat at a table can make you more analytical while being sat on a bed can make you less analytical or less critical. To properly assess this there needs to be a larger base for the study and equal surroundings for both with the character of the man being the only variable.
While clearly this is not a completely empirical experiment, the purpose of this show is just to give a layman's representation of existing scientific literature in psychology. By all means take this dumbed down and scripted tv show with a pinch of salt, but understand that this is a real phenomenon that already has much support among the scientific community.
Alex Pugh Pretty much this. There were plenty of other problems that would make this something you wouldn't want to cite in an actual scientific paper besides those already listed. How the questions were worded differently, no true objective measurement of the responses, no accounting for the fact the girls were tested in groups and the many social and group effects that could come from this. But it's still a good entry level introduction to psychological concepts that have already been proven in legitimate studies. The study they made was mainly just for the visuals of the show.
*Not really.* You can't discard the *responsive facial expressions* & gestures both groups displayed. Over the course of watching the video, 😃 *one group smiled and laughed while the other didn't.* It's a good vs bad experience.
@@swannynicole9 of course not you.....let me guess...you're also the type to watch a video of someone running into a burning building to save a cat and then say I would've done the same thing for my cat...yeah yeah yeah..or course you would have lmao
well, that's the idea of this halo effect.. when you had someone with dark color, then in somewhat ways he/she shows bright color next time around.. what would you feel about him/here?
I don't get colour theory and light/dark difference. could you meet the happiest person in the world in the dead of night and allow the time to judge whether you like this person?
Why did they create such a loaded experement? It was clearly set up to only have one possible outcome, The group with happy Dan were taken to a comfortable environment with the word love written in it, as well as being asked the question in a positive tone. meanwhile the girls with sad Dan were taken into a room with upright chairs and a plain table which is a much more somber looking room. This would have created a much different impression on each group and therefore would change the outcomes.
That is such a good observation - I would have never thought of it. For an experiment to be fair you have to have exactly the same conditions only changing one component (in this case his tone of voice) so I agree with you on that.
+Nisbo Well, looks like the environment you're in also affects your opinions on others. Better ask for a net pal to get installed in a comfy bedroom before skyping for the first time...
+evacookie913 Yeah right, that's the first thing I noticed: One group (strangely the "positive image video clip") is in a comfortable environment whereas the second group is sitted. So choose and arrange carefully your surroundings, environment for instance a nice bar, hotel lobby, office space etc. to positively impress ladies, men or prospects/clients
This isn't a controlled experiment. The upbeat group sat closely on a bed like they were pals at a slumber party. The downbeat group sat like strangers around a table like they're colleagues at a business mtg.
I wonder if we manipulate the races of the girls and the guys would get the same results. White girls watching a middle eastern guy talking. Asian girls watching a black guy talking. Black girls watching a mexican guy talking. Middle eastern girls watching asian guy talking. mix it up and see what kind of results we get.
+sherlock tango There's that demographic on OKCupid already. The results : - Every girls from every race drool over white guys, they have their #1 preference for white guys, except for black girls. - Ironically, white girls rank #3, the complete lists are : 1. Middle Eastern 2. Asian 3. White - White people, both boys and girls, are the one that is most reluctant to date people from outside of their own race. Most people from other races (about 90%) are willingful to date other people from other race, while in white people, it's only about 60-70%. - Black girls get the least attention, even from black guys themselves (sad but true :'(, not trying to be racist in any way) - Black guys also get the least attention, but they're the most favorite of black girls themselves (black guys need to realize that there are girls who want to stand there beside them)
+abc dde What's more funny is that, if you look at American history, the VERY FIRST sex symbol in America was not a white woman, not even a white man, but an Asian man. Sessue Hayakawa, a Japanese actor from the silent film era from the 1910s and 1920s. Hayakawa was equally famous as Chaplin. Hayakawa was the Brad Pitt as Chaplin was the Clooney at that time. Hayakawa was one of the highest paid actors in America at that time along with Chaplin. Sadly nobody knows his name anymore in 2015. White women were CRAZY for Hayakawa, the exotic mysterious man from the orients. But of course the white man didn't like that, not one bit. Hayakawa hurt the white man's ego. Since then, the white media has transformed the image of Asian man from the exotic and sexy to the weak and nerdy and small dick. Funny history huh? Why else do you think white media need to portray black men as monkeys after that? aka King Kong.
sherlock tango Just to give you insight, this does NOT only happen in country with white as the majority. In my country, Indonesia, one of the third world country (if you will), where white people are almost inexistant, probably half of all of the celebrities and models are mixed with white people or pure white people. The other half? Almost all of the rest, resemble white people in a way, like A LOT! White skin, wide eye, high cheekbones, narrow-high bridged nose, thin lips, etc. Even when they're local, they look caucasian, and to be exact, white people. The one that isn't resemble white people are just comedian, stupid TV Show presenter, or singer who really not emphasize it on look. I keep wondering if it's the human nature to find white people to be generally more attractive than the rest. I mean, there is that one "golden ratio" that kind of decide the beauty in human, and white (or caucasian in general) are the one that fit the model the most. With that feature, plus white, clear skin, colorful eyes and hair, you get such an enormously gorgeous feature that everybody's envy of. Even white people don't get bored with staring at people from their own race to the point where they're wary about marrying people from other race.
it is quit annoying when people do that. many races were mentioned; black, white, asian, middle easter (arabic), and European then then there is one left "mexican"? What? makes sense i guess someone from a central or Aouth America are apparently not call "latinos" but apparently "Mexican". that is stipid
+Wysteria InBloom uhn, well in many counties such the one from where I am from, America is divided in three section or continents; north, central, and south america. and mexico is in north america regardless mexican is not a race. they are latinos.
And I thought it was gonna be about why people cheat: I think people who are already in a relationship with someone seem more attractive because someone else thinks they're worth having.
It seems like this video shows how to get committed in the first place, given that ya already single. No assumption applicable for cheating has been even thought of.
I guess im weird cause I prefer the more serious one over the excited one. The serious one got to the point on what he wants, the excited one seemed like he was joking around. depends on what u are looking for, everyone is different.
Nothing weird about it. I too feel the same. Some seriousness is necessary before approaching someone, although with a sense of right humour is largely acceptable. 😀
+Krissy Ciammitti I agree, the serious one sounded more down-to-earth and a bit snarky, which I guess I like in a guy 'cause I'm a bit snarky, lol. The excited one sounded fake to me, too happy, too nice. But then again I don't know maybe I just have trust issues. O.O
*Not really.* You can't discard the *responsive facial expressions* & gestures both groups displayed. Over the course of watching the video, 😃 *one group smiled and laughed while the other didn't.* It's a good vs bad experience.
+Lelouch Actually there was a real experiment/study where they videotaped a teacher giving a lecture, and they did two videos like this, a video where the teacher answer questions and give the lecture in a cold way, another video where the teacher engage with students and be more "Friendly", and at the end of the study participants rated the teacher in the second video more positively just like the girls did here. And the interesting part is that when the participant were told they only judged the teacher positively or negatively because of the halo effect and such stuffs, they denied, which means that this all happens on an unconscious level.
+Lelouch You spelled offense wrong and then after writing "No offense", you proceeded to do just that. I love it when someone says no offense and then offends you? She is right. you seem a little dense.
Is it only me or in the second video it actually appeared darker, unlike the first video that was brighter. I mean people normally (not always) see black as a "negative" color and yellow as a "happy/positive" color. It would have been better if they kept this variable the same.
Why were they seated so differently though? I'm sure that making the first group sit in a cozy bed and the other in a more formal looking sitting orientation must have made some kind of subconscious difference as well.
Summary of the video: - Sound more upbeat and positive - Smile more - Lean in to show interest - Definitely make some jokes if u can, even if it's unfunny - Hold eye contact
Omg.. One of my coworker has this! He's always very positive and upbeat but at the same time I've heard him say some rude things while trying to be nice/friendly and it had always irked me that his personality doesn't match his words.. Wow
That's not the only thing though. These girls were primed differently on top of the way he spoke. Outside influences change your opinion on people as well. One group sat on a comfy bed among other things. and the other at an uncomfortable table among other things.
The Halo Effect is a part of our everyday judgment. We tend to be blinded by a positive aspect of a person's characteristic verses being more aware of the negative. Honestly, I feel that the Halo Effect influences the lasting of poor relationships. Instead of getting out of the relationship, we end of staying because of that one quality that we find attractive.
I disagree with the findings of your experiment. Tone and body language can drastically change the meaning of words (think clever joke vs tactless remark) so even though he's "saying the same thing," the message conveyed is actually quite different; in the end, he's not really saying the same thing. I guess I am saying I enjoyed the introduction to the video and agreed with the premise behind it, but I do not feel that your experiment actually tests what you claim to be testing for.
+violet ....and in the age of the internet/cell phones people are always typing messages to each other. It's worse than face to face or even voice! (to tell how they really mean something) You can end up talking on Facebook for a week before you even have the first date..... (that wouldn't be what I'm doing today or anything... :)
Definetely, "The best thing about me is my body" can be a funny joke (i actually laughed at it), or said serious it can come across as a super arrogant guy. Totally opposite meanings.
This was more of a corollary than an introduction to a new concept, secondly this "experiment" was ineptly conducted. They should have isolated each subject and interviewed them individually, instead they allowed the others to coerce their opinions and subjected them to _confirmation bias,_ showing profligacy in how they went about this.
you don't have to, i know some of my friends who aren't attractive but still manage to score hot woman. @Jonson2 sure, having lots of money/good looks help..but there are other factors besides those things..check out *"BadassMastery, com"* you'll find out more on how to attract and seduce women.. The guide there is awesome
The guy in the video is a 5/10. An average 20 something young bloke. I don't know where you got the idea that the guy is physically more attractive then average.
There were three things I saw that I feel drastically impacted the results of this study. For one, each group sat at completely different areas - the upbeat group being at a more informal and comfy area, and the negative group being seated at a more formal seated area. If one signifies warmth, comfort and friendliness (think: four girls laughing and having fun on a bed) and the other signifies formality and seriousness, the interpretation of this video can easily be misrepresented purely because the tone of the room. Then there is the fact that the lighting was different as well; the bedroom being held with soft warm-toned lighting situated at the sides and sunlight peeking through whilst the dining table having predominantly piercing lights situated right above their faces. This also affects the tone of the room and the perceived warmth his demeanor, that in turn affects the results in the women's final decision. Lastly, there is the factor that they are all situated in groups in the first place that affects influences of conformity and group influence. A lot of the girls were nodding or shaking heads in unison, pointing out aspects and automatically receiving a head nod in agreement. It is very likely that both groups were influenced by the other women, and therefore deterred their results from being accurate and unbiased.
It's really interesting how much of an influence first impressions have on us, and how much a simple change in tone of our voice can actually change the judgments others have about us.
The Hale Effect really makes me think about first impressions and how I may have made some bad first impressions to some people because of my mood at the time, but also how I have based others off of their impressions. The next time I meet someone or hear someone speak, I will try and focus more on the words and not their manner.
Is this science? We already know that a persons presentation (regardless of how they say it) is a bit more important. Yes we care about what the girl says, but if her attitude is off than that says a lot about them (negatively). Didn't need a video to prove that.
Things that may seem "obvious" to us now where a mere mystery to all only a few years ago. Remember that in our history it was "obvious" that the earth was the center of the universe. We take human nature for granted because we are actors in it every day. We make the rather large error in assume that everything in our mind is available to us at all times. This is why there is a need for systematic empiricism
in other words introverts should conform to become extroverts. yes this is the only hope for the other 50% of the population. or people could actually study psychology and understand how introverts naturally are.
+David Duncan I have to disagree with you on that one. Most people is where I disagree. From my understanding 50% of the population is introverted of both men and women. Also we're attracted to the opposite personality. There's a great book written on the subject called "Introvert Power" it explains where confidence comes from in the introverted population. So its mainly about how the two personalities complete each other but one is not more ideal from the other...
Joshua Phillips I don't mind but I don't remember where I read it either, mate. The particular number mayor may not be accurate but isn't it a common knowledge that there are more extroverts than introverts? my teachers way back in school used to say that too, and in my experience that is the case as well.
It is very interesting how the Halo Effect can blur our judgment of a person. This video showed me I need to be more aware in my own life of the Halo Effect so as to not give the wrong impression and to also not perceive the wrong impressions of others.
+Joanne B. Aksin' "where the hoes at?" to impress me Aksin' "where the moneybags?" to impress me Say you got the burner stashed to impress me It's all in your head, homie Aksin' "where the plug at?" to impress me Aksin' "where the juug at?" to impress me Aksin' "where it's at?" only upsets me You sound like the feds, homie
Be a good listener. Don’t show to them that you know a lot of things, you just to be real and stop being boastful simply because women do not like that. If you're looking for a high quality intellect woman, be sure to remember that. It will always be an edge for you if you know how to listen to girls and throw some questions which are related to what they're saying, with the Rapid Women Seducer seduction moves and the interest you're showing to her, success will certainly follow. For many girls that I have encountered, this strategy effectively worked, this will surely work for you also.
Greg Huntz well this only works if you don't really give a fuck. Emotionally codependent person will do all of the things you mentioned but he'll stay in friendzone.

LostSerenity I thought she seemed like a psychology student or something. Most into to Psyc classes talk about this sort of stuff. In my university psychology students were usually excluded from social psychology studies because knowing about priming/halo effect etc can deminish the bias.
It's really important to carry a positive vibe in order for someone to like you because no matter how smart and good looking you are if you act arrogantly in front of people, no one would ever like you or even reach out to you.
Group conformity played a huge role in the outcome of the experiment. Your thoughts, feelings, and especially opinions are more likely to change based on the environment and people you're around
It amazes me how something as slight as the inflection or tone in what someone is saying can change one's entire perspective. I would like to see this experiment done slightly different, though. I think it would be interesting to have several different actors, each with their own script recorded in two different tones, then shown at random to several different potential dates who are alone (not in a group setting) to see what their choices would be. I also would think it would be intriguing to do this with people of different sexual orientations (heterosexual men, heterosexual women, bi, gay, lesbian, trans, etc.).
This is a great example of how we tend to cast judgement on others. It also shows that one's tone and body language determines the way others recieve their message.
I have fallen victim and have been the one using the halo effect. I never knew there was a name for it but now that I do and they have explained it I can see now why it is so important. Not even for dating but for job interviews, meeting new people, making friends, talking with your partner or your parents, etc. Also how you might say something and mean it a certain way but how you said it will be interpreted differently by others so you have to be careful about how you deliver the message. Especially over text messages, it is the worst. You don't know how that person is saying it or meaning it especially when you cant see their facial expressions either, so you jump to conclusions.
Our brains like consistency. It’s strenuous to try to consolidate conflicting information. And we don’t like feeling that we were wrong. We highlight the things that confirm our existing opinion, and filter out the things that invalidate them. It’s hard to admit our mistakes, so we end up repeating a lot of them. We are all kind of stupid sometimes.
MAYBE it's the environment they're being asked about him! For one.. One group is on a fucking fluffy cloud looking comfy-ass bed! lol While the other group is on a hard wood chair :P Just saying lol
Well, this WAS about confidence though. That's how they saw it. Also the script had a couple of sarcastic lines which would seem just arrogant without smiling.
Personality and hygiene are whats important for me. No point being with someone that has dirty nails, smelly feet, low sense of humor and conflicting interests. Appearance can be changed, one can look formal, casual, lazy, sexy or cute just by how they style their hair and dress their self. Appearance is still important, we all want someone that looks appealing to us, whether that be their body size, height, voice, eyes or face, we all want to lie in bed with someone who turns us on. But there is no point living with someone who is shit hot and great in bed, if they cant be practical around the house or have a negative outlook to life.
but then at the same time i'm kind of hypocritical or I feel hypocritical because I'm rarely if ever attracted to anyone. I know physical attraction is an obvious necessity to dating someone else, but we all know it isn't everything and shouldn't be the determining factor or reason you date someone.
i liked the part where he talks about glossy perfection and how the media and everything are pressuring us to conform to the ideal of what is attractive and then you see the women with fake hair, weird lipstick and mascara i guess, in a hopeless attempt to look "perfect"
I've known many people (myself included) that have been affected by the halo effect. It's interesting to see it played out in an experiment though. It's much more difficult to realize that there are negative qualities about a person whenever you aren't on the outside of the situation looking in.
It's not all about the Halo Effect it's also about how what he says is being percieved. In the happy video, he says things on a funny tone thus making negative opinion seem like jokes instead of what he truly believes. This doesn't happen on the sad video because he's much more serious in this one. The halo effect takes place in the second part of the video, not in the first one.
I find It amazing that when the groups seen the other groups videos, they looked at the other things that would have been important when considering a date, but the halo effect is amazing!
It's really stunning how obvious red flags can get looked over just because of a charming, upbeat demeanor. I wonder how far the scriptwriter could take the confederate's "bad" traits before participants clearly rejected him.
the probe samples aren't alike. They apparently haven't taken into consideration ethnicity, personality etc. not to mention that they all abide the rules of conformity.
I think the reason one detail can turn us off from a person is because maybe we've seen that trait before in a person who didn't treat us well. How we socialize is really influenced by our past experiences and ingrained beliefs.
Did anyone notice that the upbeat guys video had bright light and sunshine in his video while the downbeat video had the light off? Interesting... They should do a video about how certain backgrounds/lighting may change their view on someone.
Different people can have different opinions on the same thing. That video doesn't prove the Halo effect... Even the same person can have different opinions about the same thing in different times.
Human's judgement can be easily influenced. The fact that you made the upbeat group watch the video on a bed and the others on table chairs is a big mistake, it can affect their judgement. For example, just the fact of holding a hot beverage vs a cold beverage in your hand changes your percetion of the coldness/warmth of the peson you're speaking to in terms of personality.
I was impressed by how the guy reading the 2 scripts was able to keep the difference subtle. It's not easy to stay within realistic boundaries when you're asked to be positive and negative on once topic.
I was already familiar withthe importance of first impressions, but this video helped exhibit how extensive that impression really is. I found it interesting that even after the group of girls who saw the down-beat video first were told that Charlie was intentionally speaking in that manner they still held on to the opinions they had formed of him from watching the first video.
I bet if the girls themselves weren't so damn upbeat they would like the less positive guy. I have the tendency to not trust overly energetic happy people, they feel phony. I also listen to the actual words coming from others mouths, so both sounded like assholes. The happier one seemed even worse because he was smirking and making what he was saying into a joke.
holly thomason i knew someone a while ago who was loved by everyone and always wore a smile and knew how to talk to people.. but it was all just a mask.
I also believe that the Halo Effect can influence peoples judgements and perceptions when pertaining to their environment, in this case, the bed or the table.
So no one even thought about the effect of conformity (on group interests)... you know, the famous Asch discovered it, a breakthrough scientist in psychological fields... Just, what kind of experiment is this? Clearly, the Halo Effect has some part on the choice of whether to like the guy or not, but sorting them in groups to discuss their opinion only weakens your results. The effect of conformity is simply much greater. Just look at the blond girl in the "Down-beat" group, she was thinking on giving the guy a shot; and there was also a girl in the "Up-beat" group that simply didn't like the guy... yet they both conformed to the interests of their group. That's basically coercion, and manipulation of results. You may impress the general population that has no idea what you are talking about, but in reality, it's a poor thought out experiment.
This occurs all of the time when it comes to relationships. One does something really wrong, but if they make up for it or really give a meaningful apology it is wiped away. Many girls and boys let it continue time after time due to the halo effect.
Don't you find this a 'little' reducing? Some people are attracted to shy people and seeing a 'confident' douche bag who think he is interesting because he gesticulate like if his life depends on it, is very annoying for a lot of people, even in bars. It all depends on the mood of the moment. I believe also that women in general have a much bigger tendencies to pick up guys 'who are popular' normally ending with a overconfident, women beating, douche bag. And one of the reason is 'The group groupies effect'. Never heard of it? That's the effect of many women getting togheter to 'judge' if they would go out with someone or not. Put that same woman alone, in front of the computer, and she will pick up someone entirely different than in front of other women...if you get my idea. Basically the confident guy is not necessary the one who is going to get pick up. (Espacially if she ever got beaten by one...) I'm not saying this 'halo effect' is wrong but the experiment is certainly not putting every aspect of the 'real' things on the table here...
not really. with the upbeat video, one girl said she liked him but wouldn't date him. the others just said they liked him, never saying they wouldn't date him. the downbeat one had 3 girls say they wouldn't date him and one saying she might "give him a chance", which doesn't mean much
Yes it does ! Because it has been proved that being in a comfy and cozy environment can make you happy and therefore it needs less convincing to say yes. And on the other hand, a table where people have serious discussions and it makes the girls more likely to be much more critical.
I think it looks like a great experiment, but you might wanna do it a couple more times, eliminate confounding variables. Perhaps find some way of performing a matched-pair test.
FragranceOfChrist67 lol wtf.. the ignorance is astounding. There are millions of us black brits that have accents. Dont rely on media to make you expect all blacks to have a southern american ebonic in them
After watching this video, it makes me question how often I am affected by the halo effect, especially when meeting knew people. Often, I have had great first impressions with people, and it has clouded my judgement on the rest of their behavior.
Would the results be different if the same lighting was used in both Dan videos? I noticed the upbeat one was much brighter, which could be viewed more positively as well. It wasn't "identical" like the video mentioned.
1 big flaw with this. Conformity. You're more likely to agree with others in order to fit in. They should have asked each person individually.
+JoMama123451234 Absolutely. This was silly.
+JoMama123451234 Except the blonde, she seemed strong minded.
yup!
+Cory Radam Grouppressure always has effect.
+SWIFTzTrigger She was the best thing about the video, nothing but the design of (this) video was good otherwise.
i think the girls being in groups affected the overall reaction too. Consciously or not their own opinions might change because of the other girls' reactions
+jo dallas This test is just stupid. I really hope people think, before they start to believe such nonsense :/
+jo dallas I think what they should have done was have guys look at a girl's "dating video" with 2 versions and then investigate if gender and the people around us affect our decisions.
+Sam Wheatley that's not the bystander effect you degenerate, the bystander effect is when you choose not to help in an emergency situation because you're relying on others to take care of it, this is an example of conformity where people change their behaviour (or beliefs) due to group pressure
that's what it called society effect..but yes, the halo effect works in individual or in group
+white hanzo
I call it conformity
One problem, upbeat girls on a bed while down beat girls at a table. To be truly scientific both groups would assess the videos in the same environment. Being sat at a table can make you more analytical while being sat on a bed can make you less analytical or less critical. To properly assess this there needs to be a larger base for the study and equal surroundings for both with the character of the man being the only variable.
Also there would have to be multiple experiments with multiple groups. Over and Over again. This is very lacking and is a very bad experiment.
While clearly this is not a completely empirical experiment, the purpose of this show is just to give a layman's representation of existing scientific literature in psychology. By all means take this dumbed down and scripted tv show with a pinch of salt, but understand that this is a real phenomenon that already has much support among the scientific community.
Alex Pugh
Pretty much this. There were plenty of other problems that would make this something you wouldn't want to cite in an actual scientific paper besides those already listed. How the questions were worded differently, no true objective measurement of the responses, no accounting for the fact the girls were tested in groups and the many social and group effects that could come from this. But it's still a good entry level introduction to psychological concepts that have already been proven in legitimate studies. The study they made was mainly just for the visuals of the show.
Agree
anonymous1312 not to mention the obvious filter between the upbeat & downbeat videos
You can only get ladies TRUE opinion when they're alone.

They manipulated the test by using dark and bright light. Dark colors are viewed more badly and therefore also he seems worse
very subtle though (I didn't even see that)
+Max Meyer Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that the videos were light and dark.
well, that's the idea of this halo effect..
when you had someone with dark color, then in somewhat ways he/she shows bright color next time around..
what would you feel about him/here?
ikr exactly what i was thinkinh
I don't get colour theory and light/dark difference. could you meet the happiest person in the world in the dead of night and allow the time to judge whether you like this person?
Why did they create such a loaded experement?
It was clearly set up to only have one possible outcome, The group with happy Dan were taken to a comfortable environment with the word love written in it, as well as being asked the question in a positive tone. meanwhile the girls with sad Dan were taken into a room with upright chairs and a plain table which is a much more somber looking room. This would have created a much different impression on each group and therefore would change the outcomes.
That is such a good observation - I would have never thought of it. For an experiment to be fair you have to have exactly the same conditions only changing one component (in this case his tone of voice) so I agree with you on that.
+Nisbo Yep. Ridiculous.
+Nisbo priming ;)
+Nisbo Well, looks like the environment you're in also affects your opinions on others. Better ask for a net pal to get installed in a comfy bedroom before skyping for the first time...
+evacookie913 Yeah right, that's the first thing I noticed: One group (strangely the "positive image video clip") is in a comfortable environment whereas the second group is sitted.
So choose and arrange carefully your surroundings, environment for instance a nice bar, hotel lobby, office space etc. to positively impress ladies, men or prospects/clients
.... the fact that they were in groups changed the outcome.
WHAT IS THAT WINGED EYELINER AT THE BEGINNING THO
LMAO I was just thinking that
I was looking for this comment ......like damn it was a crime.
did any male notice whatever the "weird eyeliner" is? lol I know I didn't.
+chepe perez lmao get over yourself women wear make up to impress other women not men 😌
so, that's why only women notice it, because I just watched, the video. still didn't notice it again lol
This isn't a controlled experiment. The upbeat group sat closely on a bed like they were pals at a slumber party. The downbeat group sat like strangers around a table like they're colleagues at a business mtg.
I wonder if we manipulate the races of the girls and the guys would get the same results. White girls watching a middle eastern guy talking. Asian girls watching a black guy talking. Black girls watching a mexican guy talking. Middle eastern girls watching asian guy talking. mix it up and see what kind of results we get.
+sherlock tango There's that demographic on OKCupid already. The results :
- Every girls from every race drool over white guys, they have their #1 preference for white guys, except for black girls.
- Ironically, white girls rank #3, the complete lists are : 1. Middle Eastern 2. Asian 3. White
- White people, both boys and girls, are the one that is most reluctant to date people from outside of their own race. Most people from other races (about 90%) are willingful to date other people from other race, while in white people, it's only about 60-70%.
- Black girls get the least attention, even from black guys themselves (sad but true :'(, not trying to be racist in any way)
- Black guys also get the least attention, but they're the most favorite of black girls themselves (black guys need to realize that there are girls who want to stand there beside them)
+abc dde What's more funny is that, if you look at American history, the VERY FIRST sex symbol in America was not a white woman, not even a white man, but an Asian man. Sessue Hayakawa, a Japanese actor from the silent film era from the 1910s and 1920s. Hayakawa was equally famous as Chaplin. Hayakawa was the Brad Pitt as Chaplin was the Clooney at that time. Hayakawa was one of the highest paid actors in America at that time along with Chaplin. Sadly nobody knows his name anymore in 2015. White women were CRAZY for Hayakawa, the exotic mysterious man from the orients. But of course the white man didn't like that, not one bit. Hayakawa hurt the white man's ego. Since then, the white media has transformed the image of Asian man from the exotic and sexy to the weak and nerdy and small dick. Funny history huh? Why else do you think white media need to portray black men as monkeys after that? aka King Kong.
sherlock tango Just to give you insight, this does NOT only happen in country with white as the majority. In my country, Indonesia, one of the third world country (if you will), where white people are almost inexistant, probably half of all of the celebrities and models are mixed with white people or pure white people. The other half? Almost all of the rest, resemble white people in a way, like A LOT! White skin, wide eye, high cheekbones, narrow-high bridged nose, thin lips, etc. Even when they're local, they look caucasian, and to be exact, white people. The one that isn't resemble white people are just comedian, stupid TV Show presenter, or singer who really not emphasize it on look. I keep wondering if it's the human nature to find white people to be generally more attractive than the rest. I mean, there is that one "golden ratio" that kind of decide the beauty in human, and white (or caucasian in general) are the one that fit the model the most. With that feature, plus white, clear skin, colorful eyes and hair, you get such an enormously gorgeous feature that everybody's envy of. Even white people don't get bored with staring at people from their own race to the point where they're wary about marrying people from other race.
it is quit annoying when people do that. many races were mentioned; black, white, asian, middle easter (arabic), and European then then there is one left "mexican"? What? makes sense i guess someone from a central or Aouth America are apparently not call "latinos" but apparently "Mexican". that is stipid
+Wysteria InBloom uhn, well in many counties such the one from where I am from, America is divided in three section or continents; north, central, and south america. and mexico is in north america regardless mexican is not a race. they are latinos.
And here I thought it was going to be a video about how playing Halo helps attract women :D
And I thought it was gonna be about why people cheat: I think people who are already in a relationship with someone seem more attractive because someone else thinks they're worth having.
Ashara Dayne
Yes, or they are more confident. It's ironic.
+Ashara Dayne that's true
It seems like this video shows how to get committed in the first place, given that ya already single. No assumption applicable for cheating has been even thought of.
If I well understand The HALO EFECT consit in say sometnings a bit negatives but on a way shows atitude Positive???
Proves that it doesnt matter what you say but how you say it.
I guess im weird cause I prefer the more serious one over the excited one. The serious one got to the point on what he wants, the excited one seemed like he was joking around. depends on what u are looking for, everyone is different.
+Krissy Ciammitti interesting point of view, *(strokes beard)*.
I liked the less up beat one also. The other seemed way too charismatic :P
I assume you are not the "nice introverted girl" and therefore more attracted to the bad boy kinda guy
Nothing weird about it. I too feel the same. Some seriousness is necessary before approaching someone, although with a sense of right humour is largely acceptable. 😀
+Krissy Ciammitti I agree, the serious one sounded more down-to-earth and a bit snarky, which I guess I like in a guy 'cause I'm a bit snarky, lol. The excited one sounded fake to me, too happy, too nice. But then again I don't know maybe I just have trust issues. O.O
I actually really like downbeat people, because making them smile is one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.
Sp_Zo aw❤
Cat Lynn Wow, now I realize that I actually almost sound like a good person with that comment xD
and because they are less fake.
Zita Koder That too.
Upbeat Dan seems like a tosser. Downbeat Dan seems bearable
The girls seem to influence each other as well.
And that is called the blindness influence effect
*Not really.* You can't discard the *responsive facial expressions* & gestures both groups displayed. Over the course of watching the video, 😃 *one group smiled and laughed while the other didn't.* It's a good vs bad experience.
This effect you speak of could only be contributed to the discussion. But the mood was negative vs positive already while the video was playing.
This wasn't even a real experiment, just a fake one to reaffirm an existing idea.
It was educational nonetheless.
+Lelouch lol no shit Shirley
+Lelouch Actually there was a real experiment/study where they videotaped a teacher giving a lecture, and they did two videos like this, a video where the teacher answer questions and give the lecture in a cold way, another video where the teacher engage with students and be more "Friendly", and at the end of the study participants rated the teacher in the second video more positively just like the girls did here.
And the interesting part is that when the participant were told they only judged the teacher positively or negatively because of the halo effect and such stuffs, they denied, which means that this all happens on an unconscious level.
+Mosab Alkhteb I can tell you're not very bright
+Lelouch You spelled offense wrong and then after writing "No offense", you proceeded to do just that. I love it when someone says no offense and then offends you? She is right. you seem a little dense.
Is it only me or in the second video it actually appeared darker, unlike the first video that was brighter. I mean people normally (not always) see black as a "negative" color and yellow as a "happy/positive" color. It would have been better if they kept this variable the same.
6:40 So what's the reasoning behind a quick cut to the girl's foot? Juuuust wondering.
Why were they seated so differently though?
I'm sure that making the first group sit in a cozy bed and the other in a more formal looking sitting orientation must have made some kind of subconscious difference as well.
Excellent point
How ?
Summary of the video:
- Sound more upbeat and positive
- Smile more
- Lean in to show interest
- Definitely make some jokes if u can, even if it's unfunny
- Hold eye contact
That sounds more like advice to get into the friendzone as fast as possible
@@elliott7630 Haha probably. This stuff isn't guaranteed to get u a girlfriend.
Omg.. One of my coworker has this! He's always very positive and upbeat but at the same time I've heard him say some rude things while trying to be nice/friendly and it had always irked me that his personality doesn't match his words.. Wow
+lee yang Either he has low emotional intelligence or he is consciously trying to get away with saying things in a likeable manner
That's not the only thing though. These girls were primed differently on top of the way he spoke. Outside influences change your opinion on people as well. One group sat on a comfy bed among other things. and the other at an uncomfortable table among other things.
The Halo Effect is a part of our everyday judgment. We tend to be blinded by a positive aspect of a person's characteristic verses being more aware of the negative. Honestly, I feel that the Halo Effect influences the lasting of poor relationships. Instead of getting out of the relationship, we end of staying because of that one quality that we find attractive.
Moral of the story: It's not what you say, yet how you say it.
therefore, people are superficial...
Or.. overtly perceptive.
about apearance... QED
Pr. shadoko .. no.
Pr. shadoko People are... it takes more than just how you say something to get anywhere in life though.
I disagree with the findings of your experiment. Tone and body language can drastically change the meaning of words (think clever joke vs tactless remark) so even though he's "saying the same thing," the message conveyed is actually quite different; in the end, he's not really saying the same thing. I guess I am saying I enjoyed the introduction to the video and agreed with the premise behind it, but I do not feel that your experiment actually tests what you claim to be testing for.
+violet Yeah, exactly! Telling something tongue-in-cheek vs being seriously negative.
+violet ....and in the age of the internet/cell phones people are always typing messages to each other. It's worse than face to face or even voice! (to tell how they really mean something) You can end up talking on Facebook for a week before you even have the first date..... (that wouldn't be what I'm doing today or anything... :)
+violet Agree! Interesting experiment but it doesn't prove the point.
this is literally what they said in the video. pay attention, please.
Definetely, "The best thing about me is my body" can be a funny joke (i actually laughed at it), or said serious it can come across as a super arrogant guy. Totally opposite meanings.
This was more of a corollary than an introduction to a new concept, secondly this "experiment" was ineptly conducted. They should have isolated each subject and interviewed them individually, instead they allowed the others to coerce their opinions and subjected them to _confirmation bias,_ showing profligacy in how they went about this.
Video in one sentence:
You have to be attractive.
you don't have to, i know some of my friends who aren't attractive but still manage to score hot woman.
@Jonson2 sure, having lots of money/good looks help..but there are other factors besides those things..check out *"BadassMastery, com"* you'll find out more on how to attract and seduce women.. The guide there is awesome
The guy in the video is a 5/10. An average 20 something young bloke. I don't know where you got the idea that the guy is physically more attractive then average.
There were three things I saw that I feel drastically impacted the results of this study. For one, each group sat at completely different areas - the upbeat group being at a more informal and comfy area, and the negative group being seated at a more formal seated area. If one signifies warmth, comfort and friendliness (think: four girls laughing and having fun on a bed) and the other signifies formality and seriousness, the interpretation of this video can easily be misrepresented purely because the tone of the room.
Then there is the fact that the lighting was different as well; the bedroom being held with soft warm-toned lighting situated at the sides and sunlight peeking through whilst the dining table having predominantly piercing lights situated right above their faces. This also affects the tone of the room and the perceived warmth his demeanor, that in turn affects the results in the women's final decision.
Lastly, there is the factor that they are all situated in groups in the first place that affects influences of conformity and group influence. A lot of the girls were nodding or shaking heads in unison, pointing out aspects and automatically receiving a head nod in agreement. It is very likely that both groups were influenced by the other women, and therefore deterred their results from being accurate and unbiased.
It's really interesting how much of an influence first impressions have on us, and how much a simple change in tone of our voice can actually change the judgments others have about us.
The Hale Effect really makes me think about first impressions and how I may have made some bad first impressions to some people because of my mood at the time, but also how I have based others off of their impressions. The next time I meet someone or hear someone speak, I will try and focus more on the words and not their manner.
Is this science? We already know that a persons presentation (regardless of how they say it) is a bit more important. Yes we care about what the girl says, but if her attitude is off than that says a lot about them (negatively).
Didn't need a video to prove that.
Everything is science if it is measurable and repeatedly demonstrable.
People need to die
Things that may seem "obvious" to us now where a mere mystery to all only a few years ago. Remember that in our history it was "obvious" that the earth was the center of the universe. We take human nature for granted because we are actors in it every day. We make the rather large error in assume that everything in our mind is available to us at all times. This is why there is a need for systematic empiricism
shoseki You could argue that everything that looks to understand is Science, which imo it is.
50centgotshot9times LOL.. how scientific.
@Chris43: Dude, look into the one on "bethebadboy, c0m"..
Best program I've read for pulling girls man.
in other words introverts should conform to become extroverts. yes this is the only hope for the other 50% of the population. or people could actually study psychology and understand how introverts naturally are.
+Margaret A Commonbottom VII Esquire So what else are you studying in psychology?
+David Duncan I have to disagree with you on that one. Most people is where I disagree. From my understanding 50% of the population is introverted of both men and women. Also we're attracted to the opposite personality. There's a great book written on the subject called "Introvert Power" it explains where confidence comes from in the introverted population. So its mainly about how the two personalities complete each other but one is not more ideal from the other...
+Joshua Phillips it's like 20-80 or something like that where 20 are introverts. i read somewhere.
I disagree with you on that number. Do you mind if I ask where you got that information?
Joshua Phillips I don't mind but I don't remember where I read it either, mate. The particular number mayor may not be accurate but isn't it a common knowledge that there are more extroverts than introverts? my teachers way back in school used to say that too, and in my experience that is the case as well.
It is very interesting how the Halo Effect can blur our judgment of a person. This video showed me I need to be more aware in my own life of the Halo Effect so as to not give the wrong impression and to also not perceive the wrong impressions of others.

Be a good listener. Don’t show to them that you know a lot of things, you just to be real and stop being boastful simply because women do not like that. If you're looking for a high quality intellect woman, be sure to remember that. It will always be an edge for you if you know how to listen to girls and throw some questions which are related to what they're saying, with the Rapid Women Seducer seduction moves and the interest you're showing to her, success will certainly follow. For many girls that I have encountered, this strategy effectively worked, this will surely work for you also.

The girl with the short blonde hair is probably a girl with a pure soul because she gave him a chance.
I thought she was one of the people conducting the experiement, along with the redhead girl in the other group.
You're right paultardspambot she was part of the staff haha
LostSerenity I thought she seemed like a psychology student or something. Most into to Psyc classes talk about this sort of stuff. In my university psychology students were usually excluded from social psychology studies because knowing about priming/halo effect etc can deminish the bias.
Christine Cameron
Ah ok
So a warm, cheery and outgoing personality is more attractive than a depressed body language? how revelatory. Great 'science'.
It's really important to carry a positive vibe in order for someone to like you because no matter how smart and good looking you are if you act arrogantly in front of people, no one would ever like you or even reach out to you.
Group conformity played a huge role in the outcome of the experiment. Your thoughts, feelings, and especially opinions are more likely to change based on the environment and people you're around
Not for chad
Is that Charlie is so cool like at 2:50?
It is!
That's what I thought! :D
It amazes me how something as slight as the inflection or tone in what someone is saying can change one's entire perspective. I would like to see this experiment done slightly different, though. I think it would be interesting to have several different actors, each with their own script recorded in two different tones, then shown at random to several different potential dates who are alone (not in a group setting) to see what their choices would be. I also would think it would be intriguing to do this with people of different sexual orientations (heterosexual men, heterosexual women, bi, gay, lesbian, trans, etc.).
Notice: the first video is bright and the other kinda sad
This is a great example of how we tend to cast judgement on others. It also shows that one's tone and body language determines the way others recieve their message.
I have fallen victim and have been the one using the halo effect. I never knew there was a name for it but now that I do and they have explained it I can see now why it is so important. Not even for dating but for job interviews, meeting new people, making friends, talking with your partner or your parents, etc. Also how you might say something and mean it a certain way but how you said it will be interpreted differently by others so you have to be careful about how you deliver the message. Especially over text messages, it is the worst. You don't know how that person is saying it or meaning it especially when you cant see their facial expressions either, so you jump to conclusions.
Chaarlie....not expecting to see him in this just clicked randomly, pleasant surprise.
Why do we have a hard time giving a person a second chance when our first impression of them is negative?
Negativity is everything.
negative things have more impact.
if someone gave you a sweet, but then you hurt yourself, you'll remember the injury more.
Its elimenary
Our brains like consistency. It’s strenuous to try to consolidate conflicting information. And we don’t like feeling that we were wrong. We highlight the things that confirm our existing opinion, and filter out the things that invalidate them. It’s hard to admit our mistakes, so we end up repeating a lot of them. We are all kind of stupid sometimes.
MAYBE it's the environment they're being asked about him!
For one.. One group is on a fucking fluffy cloud looking comfy-ass bed! lol
While the other group is on a hard wood chair :P
Just saying lol
OMG i love charlie i have been watching his videos for at least 4 years now they are so funny
Finally! Someone notices!
Who is Charlie? :D
Why does vocal inflection and the pace of one’s speech impact our first opinions so much?
Michael Gehrke testicles
I'm confused, when does Master Chief come in?
Well, this WAS about confidence though. That's how they saw it.
Also the script had a couple of sarcastic lines which would seem just arrogant without smiling.
Personality and hygiene are whats important for me. No point being with someone that has dirty nails, smelly feet, low sense of humor and conflicting interests. Appearance can be changed, one can look formal, casual, lazy, sexy or cute just by how they style their hair and dress their self. Appearance is still important, we all want someone that looks appealing to us, whether that be their body size, height, voice, eyes or face, we all want to lie in bed with someone who turns us on. But there is no point living with someone who is shit hot and great in bed, if they cant be practical around the house or have a negative outlook to life.

but then at the same time i'm kind of hypocritical or I feel hypocritical because I'm rarely if ever attracted to anyone. I know physical attraction is an obvious necessity to dating someone else, but we all know it isn't everything and shouldn't be the determining factor or reason you date someone.
How fat do you have to be for smell to be a priority in mate selection?
i liked the part where he talks about glossy perfection and how the media and everything are pressuring us to conform to the ideal of what is attractive and then you see the women with fake hair, weird lipstick and mascara i guess, in a hopeless attempt to look "perfect"
I've known many people (myself included) that have been affected by the halo effect. It's interesting to see it played out in an experiment though. It's much more difficult to realize that there are negative qualities about a person whenever you aren't on the outside of the situation looking in.
I also noticed the lighting on the positive video had more light and the negative one was darker.
am I the only one who found the ginger blue-eyed boy quite attractive?
ladymep You're not the only one. I find him attractive too..
He is a youtuber. you can find his channel charlieissocoollike

It's not all about the Halo Effect it's also about how what he says is being percieved. In the happy video, he says things on a funny tone thus making negative opinion seem like jokes instead of what he truly believes. This doesn't happen on the sad video because he's much more serious in this one. The halo effect takes place in the second part of the video, not in the first one.
Thats litterly the halo effect dummy
I find It amazing that when the groups seen the other groups videos, they looked at the other things that would have been important when considering a date, but the halo effect is amazing!
It's really stunning how obvious red flags can get looked over just because of a charming, upbeat demeanor. I wonder how far the scriptwriter could take the confederate's "bad" traits before participants clearly rejected him.
Omg it's Charlieissocoollike!!! Aww I miss him!
Hey, another great infomercial to make people feel inadequate. Great world we live in. ;P
Or you could learn from it and become better. You just showed the same behaviour as the girls in your comment.
the probe samples aren't alike. They apparently haven't taken into consideration ethnicity, personality etc. not to mention that they all abide the rules of conformity.
I think the reason one detail can turn us off from a person is because maybe we've seen that trait before in a person who didn't treat us well. How we socialize is really influenced by our past experiences and ingrained beliefs.
Did anyone notice that the upbeat guys video had bright light and sunshine in his video while the downbeat video had the light off? Interesting... They should do a video about how certain backgrounds/lighting may change their view on someone.
Different people can have different opinions on the same thing. That video doesn't prove the Halo effect... Even the same person can have different opinions about the same thing in different times.
Human's judgement can be easily influenced. The fact that you made the upbeat group watch the video on a bed and the others on table chairs is a big mistake, it can affect their judgement. For example, just the fact of holding a hot beverage vs a cold beverage in your hand changes your percetion of the coldness/warmth of the peson you're speaking to in terms of personality.
I couldnt tell the difference...
I was impressed by how the guy reading the 2 scripts was able to keep the difference subtle. It's not easy to stay within realistic boundaries when you're asked to be positive and negative on once topic.
I was already familiar withthe importance of first impressions, but this video helped exhibit how extensive that impression really is. I found it interesting that even after the group of girls who saw the down-beat video first were told that Charlie was intentionally speaking in that manner they still held on to the opinions they had formed of him from watching the first video.
Whoa, is that charlieissocollike?
I bet if the girls themselves weren't so damn upbeat they would like the less positive guy. I have the tendency to not trust overly energetic happy people, they feel phony. I also listen to the actual words coming from others mouths, so both sounded like assholes. The happier one seemed even worse because he was smirking and making what he was saying into a joke.
holly thomason i knew someone a while ago who was loved by everyone and always wore a smile and knew how to talk to people.. but it was all just a mask.
holly thomason it's true
+Cat Lynn I knew some people like that
Is it just me, or did the guy in the video look and sound similar in both videos?
Would the results have been any different if this test was performed on only 1 person instead of within a group?
Ofcourse it’ll be different because we tend to agree with the larger group of people rather than being in the smaller group.
I also believe that the Halo Effect can influence peoples judgements and perceptions when pertaining to their environment, in this case, the bed or the table.
The most inteligent girl is 7:55 one wearing black shirt.
This video could also help with job or school interviews, just saying.
So no one even thought about the effect of conformity (on group interests)... you know, the famous Asch discovered it, a breakthrough scientist in psychological fields...
Just, what kind of experiment is this?
Clearly, the Halo Effect has some part on the choice of whether to like the guy or not, but sorting them in groups to discuss their opinion only weakens your results. The effect of conformity is simply much greater.
Just look at the blond girl in the "Down-beat" group, she was thinking on giving the guy a shot; and there was also a girl in the "Up-beat" group that simply didn't like the guy... yet they both conformed to the interests of their group. That's basically coercion, and manipulation of results.
You may impress the general population that has no idea what you are talking about, but in reality, it's a poor thought out experiment.
1:45 Charlie?
This occurs all of the time when it comes to relationships. One does something really wrong, but if they make up for it or really give a meaningful apology it is wiped away. Many girls and boys let it continue time after time due to the halo effect.
Don't you find this a 'little' reducing?
Some people are attracted to shy people and seeing a 'confident' douche bag who think he is interesting because he gesticulate like if his life depends on it, is very annoying for a lot of people, even in bars. It all depends on the mood of the moment.
I believe also that women in general have a much bigger tendencies to pick up guys 'who are popular' normally ending with a overconfident, women beating, douche bag.
And one of the reason is 'The group groupies effect'. Never heard of it? That's the effect of many women getting togheter to 'judge' if they would go out with someone or not.
Put that same woman alone, in front of the computer, and she will pick up someone entirely different than in front of other women...if you get my idea. Basically the confident guy is not necessary the one who is going to get pick up. (Espacially if she ever got beaten by one...)
I'm not saying this 'halo effect' is wrong but the experiment is certainly not putting every aspect of the 'real' things on the table here...
that 11:33 sec was worth watching =) thanks
good guy's finish last even though" the upbeat video" got the best reviews "the down beat video" got the date
not really. with the upbeat video, one girl said she liked him but wouldn't date him. the others just said they liked him, never saying they wouldn't date him. the downbeat one had 3 girls say they wouldn't date him and one saying she might "give him a chance", which doesn't mean much
I know a clinic that prints an ever-lasting smile on your face. I already scheduled an appointment, can't wait !
Does the scene they're in (i.e bed vs table) also affect the way they react?
Yes it does ! Because it has been proved that being in a comfy and cozy environment can make you happy and therefore it needs less convincing to say yes. And on the other hand, a table where people have serious discussions and it makes the girls more likely to be much more critical.
The british make documentaries about everything
These were females.
A fascinating experiment would be exploring how pronounced the halo effect is across genders.
And across ages, professions, etc.
Wouldn't matter for men, as long as they like how the woman looks.

After watching this video, it makes me question how often I am affected by the halo effect, especially when meeting knew people. Often, I have had great first impressions with people, and it has clouded my judgement on the rest of their behavior.
I started watching this randomly, in the background while I browsed the internet, and then I heard Charlie's voice and suddenly browsing is a no go.
I'm just a humble potato
I’m just frazzled fries

so how come girls who see a downbeat guy ignore them while a guy who sees a downbeat girl would sympathise?
