✦ Synopsis

Objective:

The factor structure of the bulimic investigatory test (bite) was examined in adolescent girls and boys.

Method:

Seven hundred and seventy seven adolescents (427 girls and 350 boys) completed the bite.

Results:

Consistent with the original scale, one factor describing overall bulimic symptoms was found for the girls. however, two factors were required to summarize the boys' symptoms: "emotional and rigid/disruptive eating style" and "food preoccupation and binging."

Discussion:

The results are discussed in relation to fairburn's (fairburn. (1995). overcoming binge eating. new york: guilford) distinction which separates problem from nonproblem binge eating. further studies are now needed to examine the mechanisms underlying the development of bulimic eating in boys and young men.
