Show moreThe epistolary, as a literary genre, obtains greater value when it surpasses personal limits to reach a collective dimension. Further, if this epistolary belongs to a personality of historical and literary projection, its transcendence is even greater, as it transmits ideas and principles that mark an epoch and a social, political and cultural community. When the message it transmits spreads and reaches many, influencing the consciousness of those who receive it, its impact is undeniable. Referring to F(&)#233;lix Varela Morales (1788-1853), Jos(&)#233; de la Luz y Caballero said (")As long as we think about the land of Cuba, we will think about who taught us first to think,(") words that allow us to understand this person's importance and relevance.Varela Morales was a priest, philosopher, educator, journalist, and a Cuban writer; he was a promoter of the island's independence and of its national identity. His epistolary is a valuable and significant testimony from which it is possible to know and validate a long and prolific trajectory that goes through several years of the intellectual and political history of Cuba. This thesis will present, supported by the theories of Homi Bhabha about identity and the communicative action of J(&)#252;rgen Habermas, how the correspondence and the literary works of F(&)#233;lix Varela reflect the seeds of the formation of a Cuban identity as a basis of true independence from Spanish colonialism without, paradoxically, rejecting its colonial heritage.

Researchers have determined that college student-athletes are an underrepresented population when it comes to utilizing college counseling services. Traditional students have appeared for counseling services more so than student-athletes. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the relationships between attitudes toward help seeking behavior and (a) expectations about counseling, (b) athlete status, and (c) gender of respondent among community college students.

Show moreResearchers have determined that college student-athletes are an underrepresented population when it comes to utilizing college counseling services. Traditional students have appeared for counseling services more so than student-athletes. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the relationships between attitudes toward help seeking behavior and (a) expectations about counseling, (b) athlete status, and (c) gender of respondent among community college students. The study included 195 students at a central Florida community college, 74 student-athletes and 121 non-athlete students. The participants were asked to convey their counseling expectations by completing the Expectations About Counseling-Brief Form. Respondents were also asked to complete the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale to measure their attitudes toward help seeking behavior. Further qualitative data was accumulated during an interview with one student-athlete from each of the five intercollegiate athletic teams. For this study, two hypotheses were considered. First, it was hypothesized that a significant relationship existed between attitudes toward help seeking behavior and expectations about counseling and that expectations about counseling were expected to account for a significant amount of variance in attitudes toward help seeking behavior. Results of the data analyses revealed that respondents' attitudes toward help-seeking behavior correlated significantly with only two of the four counseling expectation factors. A positive correlation was discovered for the factor of Personal Commitment and a negative correlation for the factor of Counselor Expertise. Linear regression analysis supported that expectations about counseling were expected to account for a significant amount of variance in attitudes toward help-seeking behavior. The second hypothesis hypothesized that there would be no statistically significant difference in attitudes toward help-seeking behavior based on athletic participation (student-athlete versus non-athlete students) or gender of respondent. The results of a MANOVA indicated that gender of respondent did have a statistically significant effect on attitudes toward help-seeking behavior; therefore this hypothesis was only partially supported. Based on these findings, implications for counseling student-athletes and non-athlete students are discussed. Interpretations of data analyses are included and study limitations and delimitations are identified. Finally, suggestions for future research are identified and discussed.
