We used standard psychometric procedures for checking these parameters.

Overall, the results of the study showed high retest reliability of the Russian version of the test «Meaning in Life Questionnaire» (MLQ) (total scale and subscales of Presence and Search), its quite good internal consistency (as well as for the total scale and for subscales), provide an opportunity to talk about the validity of separate integral indicators of the test (total scale and subscale of Presence) (in this case, subscale of Search validity was not found).
