Adaptation of the Russian-language version of the questionnaire "The Recovery Experience Questionnaire" by S. Sonnentag

This article describes the adaptation of the questionnaire "The Recovery Experience Questionnaire" by S. Sonnentag, designed to evaluate recovery experiences after hours. The methodology is based on S. Hobfall's theory of resource conservation and T. Meiman's model of effort recovery. The questionnaire includes 16 items forming four self-assessment scales: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control. At the moment, the methodology has been adapted and used in research in more than 10 countries, but it is being considered for the first time in a Russian-speaking sample. The study sample consisted of 302 people (162 women and 140 men) with an average age of 32 years from various professional fields (education, psychology, IT, HR, SMM and marketing, catering, industry, etc.). The Russian version of the methodology was tested for internal consistency, external and constructive validity. The factor analysis confirmed the four-factor structure, showing a better match compared to the one-factor model. The Kronbach coefficient for each subscale exceeds 0.85, which confirms the high reliability of the questionnaire. The results indicate significant positive links between the recovery experience and indicators such as work-life balance, subjective well-being, and mindfulness. Negative correlations of the subscales of the questionnaire and the level of susceptibility to organizational stress were also found. Keeping the original questionnaire questions allows you to compare the results in different countries and professional groups. The main limitations of the study are discussed, including the small sample size, which requires future research with more diverse professional groups to further verify the reliability of REQ-R. Despite the sample size, the results obtained show sufficient statistical significance to substantiate conclusions about the reliability of measurements. The "Recovery Experience Questionnaire", adapted for the first time on a Russian-speaking sample, demonstrated ease of use and processing, as well as the necessary psychometric characteristics.
