Implications of Three Causal Models for the Measurement of Halo Error.

Fisicaro, Sebastiano A.; Lance, Charles E.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v14 n4 p419-29 Dec 1990

Three conceptual definitions of halo error are reviewed in the context of causal models of halo error. A corrected correlational measurement of halo error is derived, and the traditional and corrected measures are compared empirically for a 1986 study of 52 undergraduate students' ratings of a lecturer's performance.
