This study was conducted to examine the relationships between bulimia and the personality characteristics of assertiveness, masculinity, femininity, masculinity‐femininity, and externality. The results showed low but statistically significant negative relationships between assertiveness, masculinity, and masculinity‐femininity and high bulimia test scores, and even greater predictive ability was obtained when these variables were combined.
