Methods: This is an applied research in terms of purpose and a descriptive correlational study in terms of method. The study population consists of 205 junior high school students (girl) in Kashan city which were studying during 2015-2016. A number of 100 students were chosen as sample according to Morgan table. Cluster sampling method was used to choose samples. Pintrich Self-regulated learning strategies questionnaire was used as research tool.
Results: Pierson correlation coefficient was used to analyze data. Pierson correlation coefficient results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the variable of virtual social network using rate and Self-regulated learning strategies and components of self-regulated learning strategies (Cognitive and metacognitive strategies) by alpha level 0.01.(P<0.01). There is a positive and none-significant relationship between virtual social network using rate with Resource management component and component test anxiety (P>0/05). Pierson correlation coefficient results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the variable of virtual social network using rate and motivational beliefs  as well as Components of motivational beliefs (self-efficacy, goal orientation and intrinsic value) by alpha level 0.01.(P<0.01).
Conclusions: This study suggests that now the virtual social networks surround our environment, we have to prepare the infrastructure for publishing the tools and by holding short training courses, educate Teachers and professors to apply the computers and how to integrate the curriculum with social networks.
