About
Eric Wiebe is a leading researcher at the intersection of computing education, human-computer interaction, and digital communication. His work is distinguished by a focus on equity and inclusion in computing, as well as the psychological and social effects of emerging technologies. In a landmark 2021 study, Wiebe validated a new instrument for measuring elementary students' attitudes toward computer science, revealing critical interaction effects between race and gender—a contribution that has garnered 24 citations and reshaped how educators assess early CS engagement. More recently, his 2022 investigation into virtual reality examined how avatar appearance and communication medium influence self-disclosure, a study with 12 citations that anticipates VR’s growing role in social interaction. By bridging rigorous psychometric methods with cutting-edge questions about identity and behavior in digital spaces, Wiebe’s work informs both classroom practice and the design of future communication tools. His research is essential reading for anyone interested in creating more equitable and psychologically informed computing environments.
