What is Social maladjustment?
The failure to "respond successfully and appropriately to the demands of one's environment" is referred to as maladjustment in psychology. Maladjustment is a general phrase that can be used to describe a variety of social, biological, and psychological disorders.
Adaptation problems might be either inherent or exogenous. The difference between a person's requirements, motives, and judgments and the actual rewards received from events is known as intrinsic maladjustment.
On the other side, extrinsic maladjustment refers to a person's behavior that does not comport with the social or cultural expectations of the community.
