Dr. Carbonari's research centers on behavior change, particularly within the framework of the Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change), with a focus on addictions, smoking cessation, and alcoholism treatment. He investigates how individuals progress through stages of change, the psychological processes involved, and how self-efficacy influences outcomes in dual diagnosis patients. His work integrates health psychology with advanced statistical modeling, including structural equation modeling and categorical data analysis.
His publication record, primarily from the 1990s, reveals a strong focus on addiction treatment, especially the interplay between psychiatric severity and behavioral change. Key themes include gender differences in smoking cessation, treatment matching, and the development of assessment tools like the Alcohol Abstinence Self-Efficacy Scale. His research often collaborates with prominent scholars such as Carlo C. DiClemente, contributing significantly to the empirical validation of stage-based interventions.
