Abstract

Abstract A social construction, or social construct, is an important methodological tool used when investigating social phenomena. It is a general term referring to the idea that social phenomena are best understood as products of social interaction. The concept is also related to phenomenological theories of knowledge such as social constructionism, social constructivism, and the social construction of reality. Reference to phenomena as social constructs or constructions is commonplace in many (sub)disciplines across the social sciences.
