True.

Explanation:

For some Austro-American social interactionists, society results from the social construction of reality. In short, the everyday way in which the individual defines society and perceives human actions and interacts with people builds the social world. Thus, the perception of the senses itself is shaped by the subjective senses attributed to an objectively lived experience. That is, for these interactionists, there is very little shared reality beyond what is socially created. They refer to this as the social construction of reality - the process by which our perception of reality is largely shaped by the objective meaning we give to an experience.
