Abstract

For a Basic Income scheme to be implementable, a number of feasibility tests would need to be passed, one of which would be a psychological feasibility test: that is, Do members of the public, journalists, policymakers, and so on, understand the concept of a Basic Income, and do they understand Basic Income to be desirable? This chapter will offer some history, and will then discuss opinion surveys, and how Basic Income has been understood in the media. Social norms are an important constituent and driver of public opinion, so relevant norms will be discussed; behavioural insights will also be explored; and the ways in which minds can be changed will be studied. Finally, the chapter will ask what research is now required in this field.
