agree  Hilary Davies Shelby: http://www.bornfree.org.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/files/zoo_c... also "stereotypic behaviour"
9 hrs
neutral  Cetacea: "hospitalistisches Verhalten" also includes hostile or fearful behavior due to lack of sozialization, so stereotypies are only one possible aspect.

"hospitalism"


Explanation:
those that suffer from a behavioural disorder known as "hospitalism" should be introduced to a behavioural therapist

Hospitalismus
2) Psychologie: psychische Folgen längeren Krankenhaus- oder Heimaufenthalts besonders bei Kindern: häufig Entwicklungsstörungen und psychische Schäden, die auf mangelnde Zuwendung zurückzuführen sind.
http://lexikon.meyers.de/meyers/Hospitalismus

Die so gehaltenen Tiere verhalten sich komplett anders als jene im Terrarium. ICh habe sehr schlechte erfahrungen mit Terrarien gemacht weil viele meiner Tiere ständig an der Frontscheibe kratzten, kletterten und das Terrarium bis zum erwärmen unter dem Spott mit Verachtung gestraft haben. Dieses schon fast hospitalistische Verhalten tat mir in der Seele weh und ich habe mit Abhilfemaßnahmen experimentiert. Die offene Haltung hat dieses Verhalten komplett abgestellt.

hospitalism
<medicine> A vitiated condition of the body, due to long confinement in a hospital, or the morbid condition of the atmosphere of a hospital.
http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?hospitalism

Animal experiments point to the conclusion that certain behavior tendencies that are shared by all members of a species are
products, not merely of the species heredity, but also of certain experiences common to all individuals in the species. It is highly probable that this is true to a much greater extent in human beings. The descriptions by Rene Spitz of "hospitalism" in children suggest that a minimal amount of general social stimulation
is essential to normal development during the first three or four years of human life.

Asker: ....much appreciated....a psychologist tells me the termn I am looking for is ...stereotypic behavior...thanks for your help

neutral  Allesklar: I get the impression that the English is more confined to children than the German.

agree  Cetacea: Allesklar is correct, but then, the term is not exactly commonplace, either, as veterinary terms go in German. Besides, human medicine and veterinary medicine are converging in many areas.

institutionalised behaviour


Explanation:
I realise it's a departure from the specifically "hospitalistisch" behaviour, but if hospitalism IS confined more to children in English than in German, perhaps this could be a workable substitute. There are some refences to "institutionalised" connected with bird care:
