The article addresses the issue of social maladjustment, its diagnosis, social areas, and prevention. The concept of social maladjustment is not clearly defined in the subject literature—its interpretation depends on views regarding the etiology and manifestation of maladjustment. It is a phenomenon of interest not only to educators but also to psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, and criminologists. Consequently, depending on the perspective, the concept of social maladjustment is defined differently, and its scope varies. One thing, however, is certain: this concept encompasses specific forms of behavior that characterize its manifestation. The phenomenon of social maladjustment must be considered within the broader issue of adaptation—that is, the relationship between an individual and their environment—highlighting the complexity, multi-layered nature, universality, and broad semantic scope of the term, which certainly complicates its operationalization. "Adaptation" is a term used in both natural and social sciences. In the natural sciences, it describes the ability to maintain internal balance (homeostasis) in response to environmental changes. In the social sciences, it is understood as the ability to function effectively regardless of changing environmental conditions. Thus, this phenomenon can be analyzed on various levels: anatomical, psychological, or even cultural.
