The ability to cope with social demands is recognized by the repertoire of social skills. Deficits in this repertoire are associated with a diminished quality of life. In this context, there are several psychological disorders like depression. Depression, in turn, has a multifactorial in its etiology. Among the factors that constitute vulnerabilities for depression are interpersonal relationships and the individual's ability to socialize. The aim of this study is to examine relationships between depressive symptoms and social skills. For this, counted on 107 participants of both sexes and various ages to submit at least the third elementary school. Participants answered the following: (a) identification form; (b) the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI); (c) Social Skills Inventory (IHS-Del - Prette) and (d) Empathy Inventory (IE). Individual scores were scored and performed the statistical analysis of the sample. Analyses used were the Pearson correlation, ANOVA analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis. We observed significant negative relationships between depression scores and scores of social skills. Significant differences were also found between the groups of depressive symptoms. Regression analysis showed that social skills are predictors of depression. The results confirm previous studies and suggest that deficiencies in social skills are a vulnerability factor for depression
