Desnudando la verdad: Más que interacción, impacto mental

Abstract

This research focuses on an issue of increasing social relevance, that is, the psychological consequences of webcam modeling. Thanks to online platforms, the modeling industry has become an activity that combines real-time personal exposure and virtual interaction, creating a variety of social dynamics and potentially impacting the mental health of those who work in the industry. Despite the popularity of the webcam modeling industry, there is a significant lack of research examining the short, medium and long-term effects on the mental health of people who participate in this practice. The general objective of this study is to discover the psychological implications of the field based on research models, monitors, psychologists and personal experiences. From the interviews obtained by models, a lack of psychological support towards the models is evident, who mostly suffer from depression and anxiety due to different experiences they have in the webcam modeling industry.
