Among the options provided, the correct match of attribution bias with its definition is as follows:

Halo effect - An initial understanding that a person has positive traits being used to infer other uniformly positive characteristics.

Here's a brief explanation for better understanding:

1. Halo effect: This bias occurs when someone's positive qualities influence the perception of their other traits. For example, if you meet someone who is friendly, you might automatically assume they are also intelligent or kind without having evidence for those traits. This bias can lead to overlooking or downplaying negative aspects of a person due to an initial positive impression.
