The effect of marital role quality on self-esteem and the effect of parental role quality on health were not significant. Modification model fitted with the collected data very well, as evidenced by the small chi-square(0.58). the very high goodness-of-fit (GFI=1.00). and adjusted goodness-of-fit(AGFI=0.99). and very small root mean square residual(RMSR=0.0072). and the slope of Q-plot is over 1.41% of the variance in self-esteem and 21% of the variance in health were accounted for by these variables CONCLUSION: Further research concerned with the mediating effects of self-esteem in the role and health relationship should be covered the issue of various role combinations.
