    Character strengths and resilience have been key points in the study of positive psychology, which is why this study aimed to analyze the relationship between these two variables. For this purpose, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, in which a sample of 120 adolescents from an educational institution in the city of Ambato, Ecuador, was taken. The Brief Adolescent Strengths Scale (VIA-YOUTH) by Park and Peterson and the Resilience Scale by Wagnild and Young were applied to the sample. As results obtained, using the statistical program Jamovi 2.3.28, the Shapiro Wilk normality test and the Spearman correlation test, it was indicated that there is a slight to moderate positive correlation between the variables of character strengths and resilience. With the results presented, it is concluded that, as character strengths increase in value, resilience tends to rise. In addition, the total sample obtained high mean scores in the strengths: gratitude, solidarity, teamwork and perseverance, as well as high levels of resilience. Although women showed higher mean resilience scores than men, this difference was not statistically significant.
