The statistical population of the present study included 2150 primary school students from different areas of Tehran in the academic year of 2014-2014. The present researcher's sample size was 326 people using Cochran's formula, which increased to 330 people, and a multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used. The research tools were the standard social competence questionnaire of Cohen and Resman (1972),(SCQ), the standard questionnaire of Kansas marital satisfaction - Schaum et al. (1986), (MSQ) and the parent-child relationship scale questionnaire (2011), (PCRQ). Inferential methods (Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis) with SPSS 26 software were used to check the research hypotheses. The findings showed that marital satisfaction and parental intimacy predict social competence (with a significant coefficient of 0.1) in children. Marital satisfaction predicts children's social competence (significant coefficient 0.1). The components of parental intimacy (intimacy, dependence, conflict) predict children's social competence (with a significant coefficient (0.1).
