    Study Notes

    Deviant and Maladaptive Behaviour

    • Not all deviant behaviour is maladaptive, but all maladaptive behaviour is deviant.
    • This statement highlights the distinction between behaviours that deviate from societal norms and those that hinder an individual's ability to function effectively in their daily lives.
    • Deviant behaviour refers to actions or characteristics that differ from what is considered typical or expected in a given society.
    • Maladaptive behavior, on the other hand, is characterized by its negative impact on an individual's well-being and ability to adapt to their environment.
    • While deviant behaviour may not necessarily cause harm to oneself or others, maladaptive behaviour is always detrimental to an individual's life.
