Yes it can. Maladaptive behavior depends on a variety of causes and stressors. If it's a transient state, once the stressors are removed, acting out may well also disappear. The question here is one of causation. Transient physiological pathologies (for instance) are as likely to cause maladaptive behavior as chronic psychological issues. Look to the cause :}

When someone says something really rude just because they want to look cool?

Sometimes it is better to just ignore them and walk away, since they are really doing it just to get attention. This kind of behavior indicates insecurity, so they act that way to make themselves feel 'superior' to the other person. Generally, people don't like to be ignored, so if they learn that type of behavior gets them the opposite of what they wanted, they will learn to be more pleasant to others. And, by not responding to that kind of behavior, you will be the bigger person for not lowering yourself to their level.
