As associate professor of marketing in the W. P. Carey School of Business, Samper's research explores how consumers’ assumptions and intuitions about their preferences can shape their happiness and satisfaction after consumption, as well as when consumers mispredict the choices that will make them the happiest.

Her work has appeared in the Journal of Consumer Research, the Journal of Marketing Management and Psychological Science.
