German term or phrase: Bearbeitungskontext
Will "circumstances" do for this, or is there something better? It refers to the type of conditions in which a psychological questionnaire is administered: whether on an individual basis (for self-improvement), something a company's HR department conducts, etc. The word is used 51 times in my document, so I don't want something long, like "context in which the test is taken."
Thanks!

neutral  Armorel Young: we're talking about the Bearbeitung of a questionnaire - respondents don't "process" a questionnaire", they complete it or answer it or work it.

  -> A questionnaire can be a survey. But not all surveys are questionnaires.
