Yeap. And it often works the other way around too. Not wanting to be the only woman covered up when all the others are naked.
I've told the story before about how and why my wife decided to stay naked at a resort for the first time.
The person who checked us in was naked. The people waiting behind us to check in were also already naked. After we returned to the parking lot she noticed that most everyone was leaving their clothes in the car and proceeding to the lake/pool naked. Her "sense of pride" kicked in; she wasn't look like she was ashamed of her body when most of the other women looked "totally open" about being seen naked everywhere and anywhere. Thus her decision to drop her cover-up, "look confident", and proceed naked around the entire resort. Knowing that the people who were seeing her naked were also naked themselves around her made it "easy."
I've seen many similar situations play out almost exactly the same.
"Pro-nudity resorts" understand this and promote nudity accordingly. "Pro-dollar resorts" often choose to ignore it to keep the revenue stream flowing.
