Summary
A research study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies in January 2017 examines the positive effects of naturism on body image, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. The findings reveal that naturist activities predict a more positive body image, which in turn leads to higher self-esteem and greater life satisfaction, particularly for those with the least experience with clothes-free activities. Additionally, the study suggests future research to explore the causal relationship between seeing naked bodies and improved body image.
