Abstract

Introduction: Over time, surrogacy has become more broadly available to a variety of people (e.g. male same-sex couples or transgender women). Whether the wider public supports surrogacy, and what contributes to such support remains unclear. This study investigated what demographic and surrogacy arrangement-based (which people participate in the arrangement) factors shape attitudes towards surrogacy.

Method: A representative sample of Dutch adults (N = 1,074) reported their attitudes on four (out of 30) randomly assigned vignettes in 2023. Each vignette described a surrogacy family with variations in sexuality and gender of parents, the social and genetic bonds between the parents, the surrogate, and the oocyte donor, and was followed by an attitude questionnaire (6 items). Multilevel regression analyses were conducted with attitudes as the dependent variable and demographic factors (gender, Dutch background, age, education, sexual orientation, urbanisation, and religiosity) and arrangement-based factors (parental composition, genetic and social bonds with the surrogate, and oocyte donors).

Results: Participants held fairly positive attitudes towards surrogacy. People identifying as women, with only having a Dutch background, who were younger, more highly educated, non-heterosexual, or less religious were more likely to have positive attitudes. Participants had more positive attitudes if surrogacy arrangements entailed cis-man cis-woman parents compared to cis-man cis-man or transgender parents, and when there was no social bond between parents and oocyte donor.

Conclusions: Attitudes are influenced by both demographic and arrangement-based factors. Based on these findings, families can be informed of fairly positive reactions they might encounter from their environment.

荷兰人在不同家庭结构中对代孕态度的人口统计学和基于安排的预测因素。
简介:随着时间的推移,代孕已经变得越来越广泛地适用于各种各样的人(例如男性同性伴侣或变性女性)。更广泛的公众是否支持代孕,以及这种支持的原因尚不清楚。本研究调查了人口统计学和基于代孕安排(人们参与安排)的因素对代孕态度的影响。方法:荷兰成年人的代表性样本(N = 1074)报告了他们在2023年随机分配的4个(30个)小短片中的态度。每个小短文都描述了一个代孕家庭,包括父母的性别和性别差异,父母、代孕母亲和卵子捐赠者之间的社会和遗传联系,然后是一份态度问卷(6项)。以态度作为因变量、人口统计学因素(性别、荷兰背景、年龄、教育程度、性取向、城市化程度和宗教信仰)和基于安排的因素(父母组成、与代孕者的遗传和社会关系以及卵母细胞供体)进行多水平回归分析。结果:参与者对代孕持相当积极的态度。只有荷兰背景、年轻、受过高等教育、非异性恋或宗教信仰较少的女性更有可能持积极态度。与顺男顺男或变性父母相比,当代孕安排涉及顺男顺女父母时,以及当父母和卵子捐赠者之间没有社会关系时,参与者的态度更为积极。结论:态度受人口因素和安排因素的影响。基于这些发现,家庭可以了解他们可能从环境中遇到的相当积极的反应。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology reports and reviews outstanding research on psychological, behavioural, medical and social aspects of human reproduction, pregnancy and infancy. Medical topics focus on obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and psychiatry. The growing work in relevant aspects of medical communication and medical sociology are also covered. Relevant psychological work includes developmental psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, behavioural medicine, psychology of women and health psychology. Research into psychological aspects of midwifery, health visiting and nursing is central to the interests of the Journal.
