人にん間げんの心しん理りにはハロー(後ご光こう)効こう果かといって、最さい初しょに受うけた印いん象しょうを強つよめていく傾けい向こうがあります。例たとえばお会あいした時ときに清せい潔けつな印いん象しょうをうけると、その人ひとの部屋へやが本ほん当とうは汚きたなかったとしても「部屋へやはいつもきれいに片かたづいているに違ちがいない。人間関係にんげんかんけいもきっとさわやかでしょう」などと、こちらが勝手かってにその人ひとのよいイメージを重かさねていきます。

反はん対たいにだらしない印いん象しょうを受うけると、部屋へやの中なかをピカピカにしていても「家いえの中なかも汚きたないだろう」と悪わるい印いん象しょうを重かさねてしまうようです。
