Hi, everyone.
I am currently using EGAnet package to explore the dimensionality of a psychological assessment scale. The results are suggesting a unidimensional structure for EGA. However, when I run BootEGA for 500 interactions, found a five-dimensional structure. In addition, based on the object created by BootEGA, the frequency found 100% of the time is one dimension; and the stability plot (regarding item stability function) reveals that all items were systematically identified within their dimension, with values > 0.70, suggesting that all items were stable and replicated in only one (unique) dimension. According to Dr. Hudson Golino (i emailed him), "The results are not quite correct", and I installed the github version of the package and re-did the analysis.
However, with the same code I was using before EGA gives me 5 dimensions instead of one (first result I obtained). I cannot understand why this is happening and, moreover, why I can’t run the BootEGA now - When I try to run it, I get an error (see below), which did not happen before.
Is anyone with experience in EGA available to help me please?
Thank you so much!
King regards,
