Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present research was to investigate the relationship between children’s attachment, sense of coherence and well-being in children whose parents were working abroad (N=43) and also from intact families (N=50), according to the salutogenic model of Antonovsky (1987). The influence of children’s attachment on depression, anxiety and well-being was mediated by sense of coherence. Consequently, parental attachment was positively associated with well-being in intact families. Implications for mental health interventions are discussed.
