BULIMIC SYMPTOMATOLOGY AND PERSONALITY-FACTORS IN A NONCLINICAL SAMPLE - A REPLICATION

Analysis of 102 undergraduate women's responses replicated the 1993 findings of Janzen, Saklofske, and Kelly considering the relationship between personality characteristics based on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised and bulimic symptomatology as measured by the BULIT-R. Consistent with Janzen, et al., the strongest relationship with bulimic symptomatology was for Neuroticism. Also consistent was the lack of relationship with Extraversion scores. At variance with the earlier findings was a weak positive association between reports of bulimic symptoms and scores on Psychoticism.
