N2  - This study attempted to identify and replicate the factor structure of English and Spanish versions of the Smith Irrational Beliefs Inventory (SIBI). Factor analyses of irrational beliefs have yielded conflicting results. In contrast to the results of studies on clinical populations, studies on college students have mostly resulted in unifactorial solutions. Factor analyses of situational and dispositional Spanish versions of the SIBI on 960 Spanish college students resulted in 7 factors: Negativity, Distorted Egocentrism, Perfectionism, Catastrophizing-Task Exaggeration, Minimizing-Avoiding, Needless Other- Blaming, and Distorted Isolation. The results suggest that the SIBI displays a consistent factor structure across cultures and situational/dispositional formats
