Abstract
In my dissertation, I studied whether different metaphorical expressions for surrogacy can operate as frames and thereby influence people´s opinion and decision-making on the subject of surrogacy. My literature review will demonstrate that metaphors can be used as frames to influence the opinion of people about several topics. The results of one study I conducted suggest that metaphorical words for surrogacy can influence people's opinion about surrogacy. The results of another study I conducted suggest that metaphorical words for surrogacy can influence people´s decision-making in a fictional lawsuit in a case about surrogacy. Therefore, my dissertation will show that different metaphorical expressions make a difference on how the topic of surrogacy is perceived.
