This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between parents' character strengths and children's social skills. The research method was descriptive-correlation based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population was the parents of primary school students in Yazd city in the academic year 2021-2022. The sample size was 300 people and they were selected by the multi-stage cluster sampling method, and finally, 286 people completed the questionnaires. Research measurements included the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) (Gresham & Elliott 1990), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) (Gratz & Roemer, 2004), and the Brief Strength Test (BST) (Peterson and Seligman, 2004). The partial least square method (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the direct path of parents' character strengths to emotional regulation (p=0.001) and children's social skills (p=0.001) is positively significant, and the path of parents’ emotional regulation to children's social skills (p=0.001) is positively significant. The findings showed that the indirect path of character strengths to social skills due to the mediating role of emotional regulation is positively significant (p=0.002). According to the results of parents' character strengths, considering the mediating role of emotional regulation, it can explain children's social skills.
