authorship effects

Authorship effects refer to how the identified author of a work influences people's perceptions of its credibility, quality, or originality. When a work is attributed to a well-known or reputable author, audiences may judge it more favorably or trust it more than if the authorship is unknown or attributed to someone less recognized. These effects highlight the importance of the author's identity in shaping how information, ideas, or creative works are received and evaluated, independent of the work's actual content or quality.
