An adaptation of the Russian version of the questionnaire «Secondary benefit from the disease» based on the questionnaire Will Joel Friedman «The Benefits of Suffering and the Costs of Well Being: Secondary Gains and Losses» (1994) is presented in the article. Our questionnaire consists of two parts and includes 40 questions, with 4-5 statements on each scale. The first part describes how a person becomes ill, includes scales: regression, somatization triggers, conformism, simulation. The second part of the questionnaire consists of scales: recovery resources, recovery cost, recovery pathways, autonomy, and reflects the recovery process. The standardization of the questionnaire (n=392) indicates that the methodology has good psychometric indicators of the internal consistency of the scales and retest reliability. However, we cannot say that the scales are completely independent, requiring additional research. The confirmatory analysis allowed us to see a good consistency of the questionnaire items. When studying the discriminative power of points, it turned out that this technique is suitable for studying the secondary benefit of the disease for people from 18 to 60 years old. The multi-scale method allows evaluating the psychological phenomena that hinder and contribute to a speedy recovery. The article contains the text of the questionnaire with instructions and keys.
