Introduction: A frame makes specific information about a topic more salient. Metaphors can be used as
frames to influence people’s opinions on controversial political topics as well as on health-related topics. This study aims to
determine the influence of metaphorical frames on the opinion towards surrogacy and examines whether specific aspects of surrogacy
are more prone to the influence than others.
Method: 236 participants were assigned to one of three groups with different metaphorical frames for
surrogacy and thereafter completed the Attitude Towards Surrogacy Questionnaire. To investigate if participants’ opinions on
surrogacy were influenced by the frame used for surrogacy, three ANOVAS were conducted.
Result: The main effect of the ANOVAS revealed that opinion towards payment of the surrogate mothers,
but not the attitude towards surrogacy in general, was influenced by the metaphorical frame used for surrogacy.
Discussion: The results support the idea that a metaphorical frame can evoke reactance regarding the
payment of surrogate mothers. Participants might resist the frame of the metaphorical term for surrogacy as an unemotional
business act, by favouring less monetary compensation of the surrogate mother, when the metaphorical frame implies that surrogates
only help intended parents for the monetary compensation.
期刊介绍:
The journal Metaphor and the Social World aims to provide a forum for researchers to share with each other, and with potential research users, work that explores aspects of metaphor and the social world. The term “social world” signals the importance given to context (of metaphor use), to connections (e.g. across social, cognitive and discourse dimensions of metaphor use), and to communication (between individuals or across social groups). The journal is not restricted to a single disciplinary or theoretical framework but welcomes papers based in a range of theoretical approaches to metaphor, including discourse and cognitive linguistic approaches, provided that the theory adequately supports the empirical work. Metaphor may be dealt with as either a matter of language or of thought, or of both; what matters is that consideration is given to the social and discourse contexts in which metaphor is found. Furthermore, “metaphor” is broadly interpreted and articles are welcomed on metonymy and other types of figurative language. A further aim is to encourage the development of high-quality research methodology using metaphor as an investigative tool, and for investigating the nature of metaphor use, for example multi-modal discourse analytic or corpus linguistic approaches to metaphor data. The journal publishes various types of articles, including reports of empirical studies, key articles accompanied by short responses, reviews and meta-analyses with commentaries. The Forum section publishes short responses to papers or current issues.
