OverviewAI-generated summary

Marcela C. Weber's research investigates psychological responses to trauma, with a particular focus on moral injury and posttraumatic growth. Her work has explored the experiences of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, examining the relationship between moral injury and psychosocial functioning. Weber has also studied dual-factor models of posttraumatic responses, investigating the interplay between high posttraumatic growth and low symptom levels, as well as the curvilinear relationships between posttraumatic growth and conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

Her publications include a scoping review on moral injury in healthcare workers and research on protective factors contributing to posttraumatic wellbeing in military service members and veterans. Weber has also explored the use of physiological measures, such as heart rate variability, in predicting treatment response for PTSD. Further research has examined factors enhancing resilience among youth exposed to macro-level violence in Latin America.
