Marcela C. Weber's research focuses on understanding psychological responses to trauma, particularly within healthcare settings and among military personnel and veterans. Her work investigates factors contributing to post-traumatic stress, growth, and moral injury. She has examined the psychosocial functioning of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring the relationship between moral injury and well-being. Weber also studies protective factors for post-traumatic well-being in military service members and veterans, as well as factors enhancing resilience among youth exposed to violence in Latin America. Her research includes exploring the predictive utility of physiological measures like heart rate variability for post-traumatic stress disorder treatment response.
