The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of mind theory in relation to executive functions with quality of life and empathy in children. The research method was descriptive-correlation modeling of structural equations. The statistical population included children (boys and girls) aged 6 to 12 years in Meybod city in the academic year 1400-1399, 350 of whom were selected by the available sampling method and completed the children's empathy questionnaires of Auyeung et al (2009), quality of life form of Varni et al (2001), Coolidge neuropsychological (2002) and Hutchins' Theory of Mind (2012) the parent form. The results showed that the research model is a good fit. Executive functions have a significant direct effect on the theory of mind, quality of life and empathy of children. Theory of mind also has a significant direct effect on the quality of life and empathy of children. Another finding showed that the theory of mind plays a mediating role in the relationship between executive functions and children's quality of life and empathy. Therefore, it can be concluded that by improving executive functions and strengthening the theory of mind, we can increase the quality of life and empathy in children.
