The framework of Relational Dialectics Theory (RDT) (Baxter, 2011; Baxter & Montgomery, 2006) has been applied to discourse (conversational) analysis for understanding competing discourses in intimate relationships (close friends, family, etc.). For example, the predictability-novelty dialectical tension (a type of competing discourse) suggests that, from significant others, people desire some level of routine and spontaneity (Baxter & Montgomery, 1996). Competing discourses, however, are not limited to discussions about romantic or familial relationships. Competing discourses are also found in discussions about food, weight, and body image. These competing discourses are observable in both intimate and societal relationship contexts. As overweight and obesity (unhealthy body weight "UBW") and body dissatisfaction are problems that affect many college students, understanding of competing discourses may influence methods to combat UBW and body dissatisfaction. Fifty participants (n = 50) were recruited to participate in focus group sessions to discuss messages about food, weight, and body image that they receive in intimate and societal relationships. Following discourse analysis, this study identifies six competing discourses. Three competing discourse are related to food (processed/natural, high/low availability-access, and individual/social goal orientation), and three pertain to weight and body image (ordinal/interval-ratio OIR definition, effort/outcome value, and self/other perception). Findings from this study suggest that social motivations and societal relationships have great discursive power to influence messages in intimate relationships, and that UBW is more the result of systemic, not personal shortcomings.
