Preferred term

relational dialectics  

Definition(s)

  • Relational dialectics is an interpretive theory about personal relationships (i.e., romantic, friendship, familial, etc.) originating from the field of communication studies. Moving away from objective relationship theorizing, relational dialectics is particularly concerned with the way that individuals constitute their relationships in their communication.
