Latent functions are unconscious, unintended and beneficial.

Dysfunctions are unconscious, unintended and harmful.

While functions are intended (manifest) or unintended (latent), and have a positive effect on society,dysfunctions are unintended or unrecognized (latent) and have a negative effect on society.

The difference between the functions and dysfunctions are given below:

Functions:

  • Functional areas are used for serving a purpose of interest.  
  • Functions are part of the intention and can have a positive effect on the individual or society.

Dysfunctions:

  • Dysfunctional has no meaning and serves no purpose. It is unhealthy and abnormal behaviour.
  • Dysfunctions are unrecognized with no intentions and have a ‘negative effect’ on a person or the society. They usually disrupt social life with no intentions.
