Damned with Feint Phrase

摘要

The exponential growth of Facebook users reveals how humans thirst for social information, constantly seeking opinions voiced by friends about others, whether they are mutual friends or public figures. Psychological research has distilled much of social perception into the orthogonal dimensions of warmth and competence; furthermore, a halo effect-whereby holistic positive or negative judgments of people influence how they are rated on individual factors-has been widely reported. Kervyn et al. now show that a different pattern can emerge.
