Answer:

Intersubjectivity means a shared perception of reality between two or more individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

A term from philosophy, psychology, sociology, and anthropology, It states that as human beings we cannot know reality except through our own senses hearing, taste, smell, sight, or tactile feeling. For each one of us, reality is subjective and it is impossible for one person to know how someone else interprets the world.

Social psychologists, Alex Gillespie and Flora Cornish listed few definitions of intersubjectivity which are as follows:

1. People's agreement on the shared definition of a concept;

2. People's mutual awareness of agreement or disagreement, or of understanding or misunderstanding each other;

3 People's attribution of intentionality, feelings, and beliefs to each other;

4. People's implicit or automatic behavioral orientations towards other people;

5. People's interactive performance within a situation;

6. People's shared and taken-for-granted background assumptions, whether consensual or contested; and

7. "The variety of possible relations between people's perspectives
