Body image: what does research show?
PsychologyNaturist Karystos · 05/11/2026
What to know
Keon West’s research, published online in 2017, includes one cross-sectional study and two before-and-after studies of naturist activities. It found relationships with more positive body image, self-esteem and life satisfaction.
In practice
This does not establish that everyone will benefit. The before-and-after studies lacked comparison groups; one included only 24 participants. Participation remains a personal choice and is not a treatment.
