The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between psychological well-being and social skills in a sample of 63 Colombian children aged 8 to 11 years who were victims of the armed conflict. The methodology used was a quantitative approach, with a correlational scope and a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The BIPSI psychological well-being scale and Goldstein's social skills instrument were used as instruments, and the data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation coefficient. The results showed high levels in most dimensions of Psychological Well-Being and low levels in all social skills. In addition, a significant relationship was found between global psychological well-being and social skills in group 2 and between global psychological well-being and global social skills.
