The goal of the present study was to explore the relations between self-perceived social competence, depression, social anxiety, avoidant coping strategies and social sensitivity among children in China. Participants were 575 children attending elementary schools and middle schools from grades 4 to grades 6. Results showed that: 1) self-perceived social competence negatively predicted depression and social anxiety; 2) avoidant coping strategies partially mediated the relations between self-perceived social competence and depression, and social anxiety; 3) social sensitivity moderated the mediating path through avoidant coping strategies. The results not only provide an explanation for mental health problems of individuals who are low in self-perceived social competence, but also have enlightenment for individual adaptation and intervention.
