what is the difference between mannerism & stereotypy?
Question:
Answers:
A mannersim is a particular pattern of socially-acceptable, situational behavior within a person. Someone, for example, may have a mannersim of being slow-walking, or in using their hands to express themself when they talk. Stereotypy is a compulsive, unconscious pattern of motor activity which is pervasive over every situation, such as head-shaking or hand-flapping. While a person who has a mannerism of using their hands when they talk will stop moving their hands when they are not speaking, a person who has the stereotypy expresed through hand-flapping will continue the behavior while sitting, walking, talking, etc. Also, stereotypy generally increases in intensity with stress, while a mannerism is usually stable.

This is only a guess but I think mannerism is a learned trait and stereotype is an inherited trait.Could be wrong.
I think mannerism pertains to someone's manners--in that they may have a special way of completing a task or follow the same routine. With stereotypy, the person repeatedly performs routine acts over and over.
