The Basic Character Inventory (BCI) contains 136 items, 17 lower-order personality factors and three higher-order personality factors derived from psychoanalytic theory: Oral, Obsessive Compulsion, and Hysteria. Previous research that investigated the BCI's psychometric properties examined small, special populations and did not use modern statistical methods to validate the BCI. The present study validates the BCI via confirmatory factor analyses using a large sample of 6,285 Norwegian nursing and teaching students.

- The study examined how bonding patterns with parents relate to self-concept and the impact on eating-related issues in college students.

- Findings revealed that low care and overprotective parenting can lead to a poor self-concept, which in turn increases the likelihood of experiencing eating disturbances among both male and female college students.
