The SAGE Encyclopedia of Communication Research Methods, Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. Leslie Baxter, Barbara Montgomery, and their colleagues created a theory that organizes the dimensions of the dialectic used in relationships into four. Murrays ideas articulate the need for a particular type of relationship between student teachers and tutors. ![]() Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc, 2017. 5.2 Dialectical relationships and ZPD in ITE. "Relational Dialectics Theory." In The SAGE Encyclopedia of Communication Research Methods, edited by Allen, Mike, 1409-12. Allen (Ed.), The sage encyclopedia of communication research methods (pp. Ex: TLC song, CREEP (Each member of the coupleĭeals with the dialectic of privacy and transparency in different ways.Huisman, D. When these needs are at odds with one another, a relational tension is created over how much disclosure is desirable. ![]() However, this need for self-disclosure conflicts with the need for privacy felt by each individual in the relationship. Transparency - by the sharing of information can help a relationship grow closer and stronger. (novelty) Ex: My wife expects predictability out of me, yet welcomes a little noveltyĪnd surprise every once in awhile. Predictability- the need to be consistent, reliable,Īnd steady (predictability) versus the need to be different, unique, and surprising Presence of that other person (See " Dear Abby" letter). Person, yet do something ALONE (e.g., read a book or the newspaper) in the (autonomy) Ex: In a relationship, there are times when we want to be WITH the other (connection) versus the need to have one's own space and do one's own thing Separation - the need do things with others Examples of Dialectical Tensions in Everyday Life A. Ex: When feelings of "love" dominate the relationship, we want to constantly be around the person and do things with him/her but when feelings of "hate" dominate the relationship, we don't want to have anithing to do with the person and don't want to do anything with him/her. As the dialectical tensions change, our actions and behaviors change. The behaviors and actions we produce in relationships are responses to the dialectical tensions in the relationship. Ex: In a relationship, we may fluctuate between feelings of "love" and hate" D. Contradictions in relationships are in constant movement, flux, and change - (Rawlins, 1989). "Dialectical tension" refers to the "tugs and pulls" that we normally experience in relationships as a result of the existence of contradictions. Communication behaviors and patterns in everyday life can be explained by the presence and influence of dialectical tensions in our daily relationships. ![]() The application of Dialectical Theory to the study of communication is largely credited to communication scholars, William ("Bill") Rawlins (Purdue University) and Leslie Baxter (University of Iowa). Dialectical Theory has its roots in the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang - i.e., all aspects of the universe contains the seeds of its opposites - as well as the Western philosophy that the world is in constant flux (change), with creative and destructive forces constantly operating upon each other. We acquire sensori-motor intelligence of dialectical relations. Mirror opposites - the properties of one side are complete opposite from the properties of the other side. For me, dialectics is an extension of the concept of Logic beyond the limits within. Incompatibility - one side negates or neutralizes the other side 2. A "contradiction" is the existence of two completely opposite things at the same time. EX: Why do "Birds of a feather flow together" BUT "Opposites attract." B. Dialectical Theory was created to explain contradictions in everyday life. Introduction to Theories of Human Communication ![]()
