About the Book

Why can two people use a drug and one person becomes addicted while the other does not? Determinants of Addiction: Neurobiological, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sociocultural Factors unravels the complexities underlying addiction to understand how individual factors at the genetic, cellular, anatomical, cognitive–behavioral, and sociocultural level can influence susceptibility to substance use disorders. The first section reviews the neurobiological determinants of addiction and examines how drugs hijack the reward pathway and alter numerous neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine. The second section covers the behavioral–cognitive determinants of addiction such a conditioning, memory processes, and decision-making. The final section examines individual differences in addiction vulnerability, with a focus on personality factors, sociocultural factors, sex/gender, and stress. The book references commonly used drugs such as nicotine, ethanol (alcohol), opioids, and cocaine.

About the Author :
Dr. Yates received his PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Kentucky in 2014. He is currently a Professor in Psychological Science at Northern Kentucky University. His research interests include elucidating the neurobehavioral mechanisms underlying drug addiction and studying the neural mechanisms of impulsive and risky decision-making. Dr. Yates’ research has been recognized at a national level, as he has received the American Psychological Association (APA) Division 25 B.F. Skinner Foundation New Researcher Award, the APA Division 28 Young Psychopharmacologist Award (both in 2018), and the APA Division 6 Early Career Award (2021). He has also received awards from Northern Kentucky University, including the 2019 Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award and the 2020 Excellence in Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity Award.

Review :
"The textbook by Yates presents a nice arrangement and presentation of the different levels of analysis used to define the important field of addiction, including biological, psychological and sociological views.  Each chapter is a self-contained contribution on a different topic, each with an introductory thought, learning objectives and a self-test of progress. Students will like this organization. In addition, faculty will like the scholarly coverage of each topic that contains an extraordinary number of classic and recent citations. This is excellent contribution that will meet the need of courses offered in psychology, neuroscience and health science." -- Dr. Michael T. Bardo, Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky "One of the most comprehensive textbooks available for understanding drug-seeking, drug-taking, and substance use disorders. What we know at several levels – molecular, neural, behavioral, sociocultural – is concisely summarized in ways that students will find approachable and compelling.In Yates’ text, students will find answers to their common questions (e.g., why are some people more likely to misuse drugs than others) and will find new questions to motivate their continued search for the determinants of human addiction." -- Gregory J. Madden, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Utah State University
