Over the past 40 years social construction theory has greatly influenced the discipline and practice of psychology, sociology and the social sciences more broadly. The theory claims that much of what we take for granted as real, natural or true, is in fact a social construct, i.e., something produced through the complex interactions of individuals, groups, institutions and structures.
