Adaptive coping reduces stress effectively through actions that provide long term relief, while maladaptive coping involves quick fixes that only temporarily relieve stress but make the situation worse over time. Maladaptive coping uses counterproductive strategies that may reduce stress in the short term but undermine well-being in the long run.

A useful distinction can be made between adaptive coping and maladaptive coping.
The former is effective in reducing stress while the latter is not.
Maladaptive coping actions tend to be things you can do that offer very quick and short term relief from stress but are counterproductive in the long term.
