Abstract
Abstract
Background
As time progresses, people are dressing more fashionably, and women are increasingly daring to dress nude in order to stand out. So what kind of changes do women who dress nude trigger in observers' perceptions of their interpersonal attractiveness?
Method
In order to explore the above questions, we conducted two experiments which were designed to explore the effect of female college students' dress nudity on their interpersonal attraction.
Result
The results showed that, compared to low dress nudity, high dress nudity among female college students triggered higher appearance attraction but lower social attraction and task attraction (Experiment 1), and objectification of others mediated the effect of dress nudity on interpersonal attraction among female college students (Experiment 2).
Conclusion
This study provides new perspectives on the study of dress and interpersonal interactions, enriches the theoretical study of dress-body relationships, and also provides practical insights for wearers to realize improvements in their attractiveness in different scenarios.
