True/False

We act on reality as we see it.Sociologists describe this process as the definition of the situation,meaning that we analyze a social context in which we find ourselves,determine what is in our best interest,and adjust our attitudes and actions accordingly.This can result in a self-fulfilling prophecy (a false belief or prediction that produces behavior that makes the originally false belief come true).
