Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
German term or phrase: Handlungsmuster
Document type: academic essay, sociology/social anthropology/cultural studies. Title: Persistente und rekombinante Handlungs- und Kommunikationsmuster in der Weblog-Nutzung. "Handlungsmuster" is widely used as a concept in sociological research in Germany. I wonder if anyone is aware of an agreed-upon term in English research contexts. I am inclined to use "patterns of action" - comments?

Explanation:
Know I'm going against the grain somewhat, but I'd prefer to use 'activity' rather than 'action';
'patterns of behaviour' tends to be expressed as 'Verhaltensmuster'
