To investigate the relationship between parents’ marital satisfaction, children’s sense of security, children’s coping style and children’s post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) after Typhoon Lekima, this study used self-reported questionnaires to assess 852 children and their parents. The results showed that parents’ marital satisfaction had an indirect prediction on children’s PTSS through children’s sense of security. Moreover, the study also found that parents’ marital satisfaction had an indirect prediction on children’s PTSS via children’s sense of security through children’s positive coping style. However, coping style did not play a mediating role in parents’ marital satisfaction and their children’s PTSS. These results suggest that parents’ marital satisfaction plays an important protective role in children’s PTSS, while children’s sense of security and positive coping style play a mediating role.
Key words： parental marital satisfaction; security; coping style; PTSS
