An common example of secondary gain is attention; a person desirous of attention might intentionally make some mistake that draws attention to themselves, such as a pratfall.
Whenever a psychologist witnesses self-destructive behavior, they consider what secondary gains might motivate it.
Secondary gain is a term popularised by Hypnotherapy and NLP.
