English to German Art/Literary Psychology

I am working with an author/translator on an article about literary translations. We keep going back and forth on the following sentence, trying to find the best German translation for "tendencies" here, and we just can't agree on the perfect word. Here is the sentence:

******But despite the range and quality of recent literary translations from German into English, there remain ingrained tendencies in the English-language publishing and media world that limit the potential impact of all works in translation. *******

Here is the German sentence with the most recent suggestion:

"Trotz der Vielfalt und Qualität dieser Übersetzungen vom Deutschen ins Englische finden sich in der englischsprachigen Verlags- und Medienlandschaft immer noch tief verwurzelte ****Verhaltensmuster****, die das Einflusspotenzial von literarischen Übersetzungen hemmen."

Here is the explanation of the author about the intended meaning: "I mean “tendency” in the sense of an inclination. Sie neigen/tendieren dazu, gewisse Dinge auf eine gewisse Weise zu machen. It’s not that these ways of doing things (such as not making a robust investment in translations) are unwritten rules publishers and media people are conforming to (Konventionen), but rather that they represent the overall direction in which things happen to be going (i.e., are tending) due to environmental factors as well as a certain inertia on the part of people in these industries."

I do not believe that you can use the German word "Tendenzen" here. A few other options we've considered: tief verwurzelte Neigungen, Gewohnheiten, Ansichten, Vorstellungen, Konventionen.

Still, we feel we don't have the perfect word yet. Does anyone have any better ideas, or maybe can cast a vote on one of the options we've thrown out?
