Academic engagement is one of the constructs of positive psychology. The purpose of the current study was to predict academic enthusiasm based on self-esteem with the moderating role of using virtual social networks. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the sample consisted of upper secondary school students. 450 students were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data were collected according to Fedrikers et al.'s (2004) academic engagement questionnaire, Farzianpour's (2011) self-esteem questionnaire, and Jahanbani's (2017) virtual social networks questionnaire. They were analyzed by means of Pearson correlation coefficient and hierarchical regression (moderator). The results showed that academic engagement had a direct and positive relationship with self-esteem (r=0.292, p<0.01) and it had a negative correlation with the use of virtual social networks (r=0.197, p<0.01). Furthermore, the results of the moderator regression illustrated that the amount of use of virtual social networks played a moderating role in the relationship between self-esteem and academic engagement. Those who had high self-esteem and most of the time were in virtual social networks showed the decrease in their academic engagement. Meanwhile, with optimal use of virtual social networks, their academic engagement increased.
