Factor structure of Eating Disorders Inventory-2 in a Spanish sample

Objective: To present basic statistics and analyze factor structure of EDI-2 in an adolescent non-clinical sample from Spain. METHOD: An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was carried out with Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) and oblimin rotation, using raw scores. RESULTS: EFA presented a 21-factor structure with eigenvalues greater than 1. It was then forced into 11 and 5-factor solutions. DISCUSSION: The eleven-factor structure does not correspond with the 11 scales. A five-factor structure seems to be better suited than other factor solutions and presented higher reliability coefficients.
