Adaptive strategy theory systematically deals with the observation that crime is gener- ally goal-directed and occurs across cultures (see Ellis, 1990; Rowe, 1997), whereas life history theory examines social and perceptual cues for the unconscious adoption of various strategies (Hill, Ross, & Low, 1997).
The main difference between adaptive and maladaptive behavior is their behavioral patterns. In psychology, we speak of two forms of behavior. They are adaptive and maladaptive behavior. These are opposite to one another. Adaptive behavior is behavior that is positive and functional to the individual.
