目的：用中国的自愿移居现象来直接检验自愿移居对独立我的积极影响。方法：从深圳、佛山两地抽取238位高中学生,采用单变量（自愿移居地区和对照组）的组间设计,用框架直线任务和社会关系图任务测量独立我,考察了自愿移居对独立我的影响。结果：在框架直线任务上,自愿移居地区（深圳）比对照组（佛山）独立我更高（P〈0.01）,在社会关系图上,自愿移居地区（深圳）比对照组（佛山）的独立我更高（P〈0.01）。结论：自愿移居地区的人独立我更高,支持自愿移居运动抚育独立我的假说。

Objective： To examine the relationship between voluntary frontier settlement and independent agency in early stages. Methods： 106 subjects from voluntary frontier settlement region（Shenzhen） and 132 subjects from control region （Foshan） participated in the study. Independent self was measured by two implicit cultural tasks： Frame-Line task and Socialgram task. Results： Participants from voluntary frontier settlement region scoredhigher on bothFrame-Line task（P〈 0.01） and Socialgram task（P〈0.01）, compared to those from control region. Conclusion： People from voluntary frontier settlement region are more independent than those from non-frontier region. Voluntary frontier settlement leads to indepen- dent agency in early stages.
