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.
