The overarching aim of Dr. Marcantonio's research program is to reduce alcohol related sexual violence via understanding how alcohol use impacts prevention efforts to sexual violence or increases the risk for sexual violence to occur. To address alcohol-related sexual violence, her research program has three focus areas. First, she examines how alcohol use could influence people’s sexual consent communication or how they communicate their willingness to engage in sexual activity. Second, she examines how alcohol use could impede someone’s ability to stop, or bystand, when they witness a potential experience of sexual violence. Finally, she examines how people communicate a sexual refusal or how people communicate their unwillingness to engage in sexual activity and how alcohol intoxication relates to refusing.
Dr. Marcantonio identifies as a mixed-method, experimental researcher and across her research program integrates various methodologies and statistical analyses. Specifically, she conducts both qualitative and quantitative studies, such as interviewing intoxicated young people about their bystander perceptions or having young adults complete a web-administered questionnaires examining their alcohol expectancies and consent communication behavior. For her experimental work, she has conducted alcohol administration studies and integrates various experimental paradigms within her alcohol administration work. Dr. Marcantonio has also conducted field-based data collections with intoxicated patrons at sporting events. In addition to these different methodological approaches to research, she has conducted various statistical analyses, such as parametric test (e.g., ANOVA, linear regression) and non-parametric test (e.g., Poisson regression, Negative binomial regression).
Dr. Marcantonio also has a background in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling and completed her master degree at Rowan University.
