This can either be in your favour or not. Halo is when interviewer lets one positive fact about you override everything else you say /do. The Horn Effect is the opposite and allows a weak fact to influence everything else. Just hope for the best in this case.

Cultural Noise Bias:

This is when the interviewer is able to distinguish between your socially acceptable answer rather than revealing your true opinion about a question. It is always advisable to be professional and not allow your ideologies play in your interviews.

Contrast Effect/ Bias:

This is when the interviewer compares you to a stronger candidate who might have been interviewed before you. Hence, the comparison comes in play affecting the decision on yours. In this case, just always put in your best and be optimistic.

Similar-To-Me Bias:

This, in many cases, always works in your favour. This is when the interviewer sees a similar trait in you that they have. Hence, it affects the decision they make on the interview. You can always research your interviewer in order to influence this.
