ABSTRACT
In a recent article, Landy, Vance, Barnes-Farrell, and Steele (1980) suggested a method for excluding halo variance in rating scales. Their approach, however. may result in excluding true variance as well. The present work suggests a conceptualization of the halo effect in terms of a suppressor variable. Accordingly, a multiple regression approach for the treatment of halo variance is suggested.

    Data on ratings of individuals, obtained under 2 conditions of judgment and published in 1956, were reanalyzed by a more complete analysis of variance. The usual interaction between raters and individuals, called a halo effect, was found but it was not influenced by judgment conditions intended...
