I have a student who has chosen to replicate the experiment testing how one
characteristic (warm vs cold, supports nuclear testing vs does not support .
. ) given in a description of a person changes the participant's assessment
of that person. 
Now, the problem she is having is that the source book she got the idea for
the experiment out of gives the reference of Asch (1946) and calls this the
halo effect and primacy effect. She is having a problem finding any research
on this. 
Does anyone know of another term we should be using? Or a different
researcher? I know this has been replicated many times .
Thanks in advance.
