PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY
What the study says.
In this small randomized study, the naked group reported greater short-term body appreciation than the clothed group. The result supports a limited intervention claim, not a population claim and not a CFNM claim.
平易な日本語要約
この研究から言えること。
小規模な無作為化研究では、裸体で交流した群が着衣群より短期的な身体肯定感の上昇を報告しました。限定された介入結果であり、人口全体やCFNMについての結論ではありません。
LIMITATIONS / 限界
Read before generalizing.
The sample was small and self-selecting, the intervention was short, outcomes were self-reported and the setting does not represent all social-nudity contexts.
