Biography:
Adriana Samper is Associate Professor of Marketing. She joined the W.P. Carey School of Business in 2011.
Professor 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. She examines these questions in areas of aesthetics, decision making, effort-related outcomes, experiential consumption, and health. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Consumer Research, the Journal of Marketing Management and Psychological Science.
Professor Samper received the Huizingh Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award at the W.P. Carey School of Business in 2014. She is currently on the editorial review board for the Journal of Consumer Research.
