Sociological studies have not been very interested in the study of emotions. Sociological reflection has dealt with the existing literature, but there are few empirical studies. This document aims to present the analysis of data related to a small section of the research “Medically Assisted Procreation and Surrogacy: the new social imaginaries”. The research has taken place at the end of 2017 to 360 subjects (24-45 years old) residing in the Italian regions: Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Campania. The aim of the research was to understand whether or not there was a new social imaginary related to the techniques of PMA. In the survey there were some questions to investigate the emotional state of women who use PMA or who ask a surrogate mother for help. The data showed that the emotional area of the self emerges with high values in case the woman decides not to have children to prioritize her professional career. The data show that people involved in medically assisted procreation techniques experience very different emotions. The emotions they feel depend on their motivations and goals.

Abstract
Sociological studies have not been very interested in the study of emotions. Sociological reflection has dealt with the existing literature, but there are few empirical studies. This document aims to present the analysis of data related to a small section of the research “Medically Assisted Procreation and Surrogacy: the new social imaginaries”. The research has taken place at the end of 2017 to 360 subjects (24-45 years old) residing in the Italian regions: Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Campania. The aim of the research was to understand whether or not there was a new social imaginary related to the techniques of PMA. In the survey there were some questions to investigate the emotional state of women who use PMA or who ask a surrogate mother for help. The data showed that the emotional area of the self emerges with high values in case the woman decides not to have children to prioritize her professional career. The data show that people involved in medically assisted procreation techniques experience very different emotions. The emotions they feel depend on their motivations and goals.
