| - | The work introduced the term ''[[social construction]]'' into the [[social sciences]] and was strongly influenced by the work of [[Alfred Schutz]]. The central concept of ''The Social Construction of Reality'' is that persons and groups interacting together in a social system form, over time, concepts or mental representations of each other's actions, and that these concepts eventually become habituated into reciprocal roles played by the actors in relation to each other. When these roles are made available to other members of society to enter into and play out, the reciprocal interactions are said to be institutionalised. In the process of this institutionalisation, meaning is embedded in society. Knowledge and people's conception (and belief) of what reality is becomes embedded in the institutional fabric of society. Social reality is therefore said to be socially constructed. | + | |
