En el caso de la Reparación autoinformada por las hijas ninguna variable familiar relacionada con la Atención muestra relaciones significativas. En el caso de los hijos, sin embargo tanto para el factor Claridad como el de Reparación se muestra un patrón repetitivo correlacionando de manera significativa con la Atención percibida en el padre y la madre.
This was my translation:
In the case of the daughters’ SEI for repair no significant relationships were found in the family variables for attention. However, in the case of the sons a repetitive pattern was found for both the clarity and repair factors, which correlates significantly with the perceived attention of their mothers and fathers.
The client tells me that the reviewer does not like the expression "repetitive pattern" Any ideas?

: I don't think this is wrong but I do think the original 'repetitive pattern' is better. If we are going by Google results '"repetitive pattern" psychology' has about 130,000 results and '"recurring pattern" psychology' has about 86,000 on .co.uk.

I wouldn't have thought you'd need to say "repeated" or "repetitive" - isn't the defining characteristic of a pattern the fact that it repeats? Can't you just say "patterns were observed in both the..."?
Discussion
Maybe the reviewer would "pattern of repetition" better. Good luck!
Good luck

Failing a convincing reply, I would just tell the client that you stick by your original translation and provide evidence in the form of some of the links provided in this discussion.

Given that 'pattern' implies repetition could you just use pattern on its own, or something like 'recurrent/recurring pattern' as an alternative to just - dare I say it - keep the client happy.
