      ab: <bold>Objective: </bold>Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) operationalizes a set of basic social dimensions that can be used to deconstruct sources of variation in social impairments across affected individuals, regardless of their diagnostic status. This is a necessary step toward the development of etiologically based and individualized treatments. The main objective of this investigation was to derive estimations of the RDoC social constructs from the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2).<bold>Method: </bold>Exploratory structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted using individual SRS-2 items from six distinct databases ( N = 27,953; mean age = 9.55 years, SD = 3.79; 71.7% male participants) spanning normative (33.8%) and atypical (66.2%) development. The following models were estimated: a one-factor model; a three-factor model with separate attachment and affiliation, social communication, and understanding of mental states factors; and a four-factor model where social communication was further split into production of facial and non-facial communication.<bold>Results: </bold>The one-factor solution showed poor fit. The three-factor solution had adequate fit (comparative fit index = 0.952, Tucker Lewis Index = 0.937, root mean square error of approximation = 0.054). However, the four-factor solution had superior fit (comparative fit index = 0.973, Tucker Lewis Index = 0.961, root mean square error of approximation = 0.042) and was robust across age, sex, and clinical status.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>To our knowledge, this is the first study examining estimations of the RDoC social constructs from an existing measure. Reported findings show promise for capturing important RDoC social constructs using the SRS-2 and highlight crucial areas for the development of novel dimensional social processing measures.
