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.


METHODS
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.


CONCLUSIONS
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.
