Shigehiro Oishi (2007) explained how environmental factors influence individual behavior under the concept of the Socioecological Model: compared with communities with high population migration, residents in low-migration communities have taken more measures to protect the community. This study attempts to focus on micro residential mobility instead of macro residential mobility, explores the individual''s moving experience and the belief in social class—Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), how to influence the individual attitudes of policy issues and social movements. This study conducted a questionnaire survey on real issues in 2014. One is "The Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement (referred to as CSSTA)", which is a government-led economic policy. Another is the social movement "318 Sunflower Movement", which questioned the legitimacy of the review process about CSSTA. Study 1 (N = 109) verifies that SDO positively predicts the degree of support for CSSTA, negatively predicts the degree of support for the Sunflower Movement. Residential mobility moderates the relationship between SDO and support for the Sunflower Movement. Low residential mobility enhanced the relationship between SDO and the degree of support for the Sunflower Flower Movement, while high residential mobility reduces this effect. The results show that social movement supporters who do not move often tend to adopt a consistent attitude with the inner group, while those who move frequently adopt a milder and neutral attitude. Study 2 (N = 217) retested the results six months later of study 1, showing that the results were stable over time. This study attempts to explain the influence of residential mobility from the perspective of individual differences, and takes real social events as an example to clearly demonstrate the interpretative and practical application of psychology on social issues.
