Popis: The present study examines the factor composition of the HSCL-58 and the item content agreement with the five postulated dimensions based on a sample of 158 female undergraduates with various degrees of binging patterns. Although the results indicated good factor congruence for five dimensions, only one of the original five dimensions postulated (Somatization) was represented. It is recommended that the HSCL-58 be used as a measure of general distress rather than as a measure of five independent symptom dimensions.
