French term or phrase: monomotif
I'm translating a sociological paper that discusses a questionnaire designed to discover the reasons behind user visits to a digital library archive. This term is used to refer to users who have one unique reason for their visit:

Comme l’ensemble des gallicanautes, étudiants et chercheurs professionnels sont de moins en moins « monomotifs » (ceux qui le restent ne représentant que 28 % des répondants) et peuvent ainsi alterner un projet studieux avec du loisir ou de la recherche personnelle.

my translation so far:

As with the entire sample of 'gallicanauts', students and professional researchers are less and less motivated by a unique reason for visiting (those that remain so represent just 28% of respondents) and thereby alternate visits for a study project and visits for a hobby or personal research.

Explanation:
I don't think this is a statistical term. I also don't think "gallicanauts" works as a translation - I'd say "Gallica users", Gallica being an arts and culture website.
