The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a
Spanish version of the Bulimia Test-Revised (BULIT-R). The goal was to test the factorstructure
equivalence of the BULIT-R across two samples of college students from two
different cultures, Spain and the U.S. Researchers using Exploratory Factor Analysis
(EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) have reported different model solutions
for the factor structure of the BULIT-R: a one-factor model (McCarthy et al., 2002); a
four-factor model (Vincent et al., 2002), a five-factor model (Thelen et al., 1991) and a
six factor model (Santos, 1996). For any of the two samples, CFA did not support any of
the models previously reported in the literature. EFA supported a six and a four factor
models for the US and Spanish samples, respectively.
