This paper takes 302 college students as the research object, and based on the conservation
of resources theory, discusses the influence of college students’ character strengths on the recovery
experience from the perspective of advantage application. The valid data were processed and analyzed by

conscientiousness advantage) has a significant positive impact on the recovery experience. (2) Strengths
use mediated the relationship between character strengths (relationship advantage, vitality advantage
and conscientiousness advantage) and recovery experience. (3) Self-efficacy moderated the relationship
between strengths use and recovery experience. According to the research conclusions, the corresponding
management suggestions are put forward.
