Professor
Psychology
Deborah Wiebe received her PhD in Clinical Health Psychology and her Master’s in Public Health from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She joined UC Merced in 2013. Her research aims to understand how people regulate their physical and emotional well-being when dealing with health problems, and how social relationships interface with these self-regulation processes across development. Much of her work has focused on adolescents and emerging adults, which is a risky time for youth with diabetes. The research findings have been used to develop novel interventions for young people with diabetes that are currently being tested.
