Abstract

This study contributes to the emerging literature on public opinion on a universal basic income (UBI) not only by investigating the role of basic human values in influencing support for UBI but also by examining the moderating role of welfare state development in the association between basic human values and UBI support. Using the European Social Survey (ESS) Round 8 in 2016, which has an item asking whether to support UBI and the 21-item measure of human values that is based on the Schwartz theory of basic human values, the results show that individual universalism that is a self-transcendence value is positively and significantly associated with support for UBI, while the other self-transcendence value, benevolence, has a negative relationship with that; the two self-enhancement values, power and achievement, are positively linked to support for UBI. Additionally, in advanced welfare states, people who are more inclined towards individual universalism are more likely to support UBI; by contrast, in underdeveloped welfare states, this relationship is not apparent.

欧洲人对普遍基本收入的基本价值观和态度

本研究不仅通过调查基本人类价值观在影响全民基本收入支持方面的作用，而且通过研究福利国家发展在基本人类价值观与全民基本收入支持之间的关联中的调节作用，为有关全民基本收入(UBI)的公众舆论的新兴文献做出了贡献。利用2016年欧洲社会调查(ESS)第8轮问卷(包含是否支持全民基本收入的条目)和基于施瓦茨人类基本价值理论的21项人类价值测量，结果表明，个人普遍主义作为一种自我超越价值与支持全民基本收入呈正相关，而另一种自我超越价值——仁慈与支持全民基本收入呈负相关;权力和成就这两种自我提升的价值观与对全民基本收入的支持呈正相关。此外，在发达福利国家，更倾向于个人普遍主义的人更有可能支持UBI;相比之下，在不发达的福利国家，这种关系并不明显。

期刊介绍： Basic income is a universal income grant available to every citizen without means test or work requirement. Academic discussion of basic income and related policies has been growing in the fields of economics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and public policy over the last few decades — with dozens of journal articles published each year, and basic income constituting the subject of more than 30 books in the last 10 years. In addition, the political discussion of basic income has been expanding through social organizations, NGOs and other advocacy groups. Internationally, recent years have witnessed the endorsement of basic income by grassroots movements as well as government officials in developing countries such as Brazil or South-Africa. As the community of people working on this issue has been expanding all over the world, incorporating grassroots activists, high profile academics — including several Nobel Prize winners in economics — and policymakers, the amount of high quality research on this topic has increased considerably. In the light of such extensive scholarship on this topic, the need to coordinate research efforts through a journal specifically devoted to basic income and cognate policies became pressing. Basic Income Studies (BIS) is the first academic journal to focus specifically on basic income and cognate policies.
