This Commentary takes up two of the main findings by Imrie and Jadva's study, namely surrogates' satisfaction with the post-surrogacy contact with intended parents and their motivation for surrogacy. It argues that the findings are in keeping with other qualitative research on surrogacy and that this similarity is not the result of the similarity of surrogates' psychological makeup. The Commentary highlights the centrality of social meanings and definitions, and following Howard Becker, insists on taking into account the collective doings that inform and shape individual feelings and behaviour.
本评论探讨了伊姆里和贾德瓦研究的两项主要发现，即代孕者对代孕后与委托父母联系的满意度以及他们的代孕动机。评论认为，这些发现与其他关于代孕的定性研究一致，而且这种相似性并非代孕者心理构成相似的结果。评论强调了社会意义和定义的核心地位，并遵循霍华德·贝克尔的观点，坚持要考虑到那些影响和塑造个人情感及行为的集体行为。
