    Area of Science:

    • Medical Sociology
    • Psychiatry
    • Disability Studies

    Background:

    • Tertiary gain, introduced in 1973, has received limited research despite ongoing debate.
    • Controversy surrounding disability syndromes often centers on secondary gain and illness behavior.
    • The role of tertiary gain in illness behavior is under-explored.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a clear phraseology for tertiary gain.
    • To model the effects of tertiary gain on illness behavior.
    • To analyze the interplay between secondary and tertiary gain in disability syndromes.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on tertiary gain and illness behavior.
    • Development of a conceptual model for tertiary gain.
    • Analysis of interactions between secondary and tertiary gain within disability contexts.
