It's lIke the framing effect.

I would have called it a subset of psychological priming, but yes, you've got it.

Sort of. They are related though. Anchoring is more about setting the value of something. It is used in negotiations something like "I want 100 dollars for this thing" "that silly I will only give you 50 dollars". I now know you are at least willing to come off 50.
