Remarks
If a Map's ScaleContents property is set to TRUE, when its display is resized, the area shown stays the same and the scale changes. When set to FALSE, the scale of the Map stays the same and the area shown changes.
The PageLayout object works similarly. If set to TRUE, the contents are stretched when the display is resized. The scale of all maps changes. When set to FALSE, the page remains the same size.
In ArcMap, on the Tools/Options menu, there are check boxes for controlling this property for the data and layout view.
