What this trial studies

This project investigates the effects of structured nature exposure on improving body image among young women aged 18-35. It aims to leverage the positive association between time spent in nature and enhanced body image, which is crucial for mental and physical well-being. The intervention includes both simple nature exposure and structured built environment exposure to assess their impact on participants' self-perception and eating behaviors. The study seeks to provide insights into how natural environments can foster self-compassion and improve interoception related to body image.
