Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Vasopressin and motivation
How does vasopressin influence motivation?
Overview
editWhen you first started to drink coffee, you only had at most two cups a day. Now you drink several, and although you feel good for the first cup in the morning, you are going to the toilet more than you want to admit. You feel very much on a treadmill now, lacking motivation and going through the motions, without feeling you are really connecting with people you engage with during the day. What is going on?
This book chapter attempts to explain the role of Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), and the effect it has on motivation. From its role as a hormone regulating the urinary pathway , the physiological role (See Figure 1. ) is then further explored on the affect vasopressin has on motivation and emotion. Recent research has looked into the role of vasopressin in social behaviour, and key research and theories include:
- The role vasopressin plays in pair bonding between partners during sexual activity (DiBenedictos et al., 2020)
- How vasopressin affects motivation differently depending on the sex of the person.
- How vasopressin and oxytocin work together to affect mood and motivation (Bredwold & Veenema, 2018)

Case study: David David drinks a lot of coffee which started when he was working early morning shifts as a barista and studying health science fulltime at University. David's caffeine intake has gradually increased over the years when he first started working at the coffee shop and he now has in excess of 20 cups a day. David has also been feeling sluggish lately during the end of the day and has been thinking about the recent article he read about vasopressin with studies in how it affects people socially. David also knows from his studies that the secretion of Vasopressin is affected by caffeine. David is now thinking about how or if he can quit coffee... |

How does Vasopressin influence motivation ?
edit- Vasopressin affects the mood and motivation of sexes differently (Feng et al., 2015).
- Vasopressin has important role in the partnership bonding of sexes.
- Vasopressin and oxytocin work together (Febo & Ferris, 2014).
- Scenarios
- Scenarios or case studies describe applied/real-world examples of concepts in action
- Case studies can be real or fictional
- A case study could be split into multiple boxes throughout a chapter (e.g., to illustrate different theories or stages)
- It is often helpful to present case studies using feature boxes.
- Feature boxes
- Important content can be highlighted in a feature box. But don't overuse feature boxes, otherwise they lose their effect.
- Consider using feature boxes for:
- Scenarios, case studies, or examples
- Focus questions
- Tips
- Quiz questions
- Take-home messages

- Links
- When key words are introduced, use interwiki links to:
- Wikipedia (e.g., Sigmund Freud wrote about (e.g., dreams) or
- Related book chapters (e.g., writer's block)
- Tables
- Use to organise and summarise information
- As with figures, tables should be captioned
- Refer to each table at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
- Example 3 x 3 tables which could be adapted

- Quizzes
- Using one or two review questions per major section is usually better than a long quiz at the end
- Quiz conceptual understanding, rather than trivia
- Don't make quizzes too hard

Conclusion
edit- The Conclusion is arguably the most important section
- Suggested word count: 150 to 330 words
- It should be possible for someone to only read the Overview and the Conclusion and still get a pretty good idea of the problem and what is known based on psychological science
