Samuel R. Sommers is an American social psychologist and professor of psychology at Tufts University. He is known for his research on implicit racial stereotyping and color-blind racism.[2][3] For example, he has published multiple studies on the effects of increased racial diversity in mock juries.[4][5] With Michael Norton, he also published a study in 2011 showing that, on average, white people think more racism against them exists than exists against black people.[6] L. Jon Wertheim and Sommers wrote the book "This Is Your Brain on Sports: The Science of Underdogs, the Value of Rivalry, and What We Can Learn from the T-Shirt Cannon" to explore how psychological and neuroscience principles explain many phenomena in sports (Sports Psychology).
