Summary
This research study examined the body self-concepts of social nudists and nonnudists, comparing their ratings on various body aspects. It also explored differences between males and females in body self-concept, finding that nudity as a variable was more significant than sex in determining body self-concept. The study also considered other factors such as age and satisfaction with interpersonal relationships and tested various hypotheses regarding body self-concept ratings and reasons for liking or disliking specific body aspects.
