The aim of this study was to predict children's social skills based on family social capital according to the mediating role of parents' moral character. The study population included all parents of elementary school students in Yazd who were studying in the academic year 2019-2020. The sample size was 400 parents who were selected by cluster (multi-stage) random sampling method and 382 of them completed the questionnaires. The social skills rating system (SSRS) , Family social capital questionnaire (FSCQ) (Akbari, 2014) , and Moral character questionnaire (MCQ) (khormaee and Ghaemi, 2018) were used to measure the studied variables. PLS-SEM was used to perform structural equations. Results Structural equation analysis showed that direct paths of social capital to moral character are significant (p<0.001, β = 0.23). Direct paths of social capital to social skills are significant. (β= 0.26, P=0.002) The direct paths of moral character to social skills are significant (β= 0.25, p<0.001). The finding also showed that the indirect path of social capital to social skills is also significant due to the mediating role of moral character (β=0.057, p=0.045). Model fitness indices also showed that the model has an acceptable fitness. It can be concluded that the family social capital can predict the children's social skills both directly and through parents' moral character.
