Медиаобразование: социологические опросы (стр. 25 )

Younger teachers in the age range of 21 to 30 do not watch scenes of violence with their children (logically considering their age) or students (0%). Elder teachers (61-70), on the contrary, are more oriented on watching them together with their children (the latter being adults of 30-40 years old).

I’d like to remind that the similar study was made for the students of various paring their answers with the teachers’ answers, we can notice the common grounds among these two groups: the most desirable company for watching violent programs are friends, both for the students and for the teachers. Moreover, only 10-12% of students watch them with parents, and 3-5% - with strangers.

Further answer differ a lot. In contradistinction to teachers, students do not like to watch media production containing violence being alone (5% of students vs. 35% of teachers, 7 times less). But the most significant point is that only 4% of the students (compared to 21% of teachers) are ready to watch it together with their teachers. Even in the age group of 7-8 year-olds, only 12% are eager to share this experience with their teacher.

Good mood, Bad mood, , Normal Mood, Other reasons

The analysis of data of Table 6 shows that teachers usually watch scenes of violence in a normal psychological state (54%). Low spirit follows with 31%, and good mood with 9%. It is worth mentioning that the gender difference is first of all revealed in the fact that men teachers more often watch media violence being in the good mood, while women teachers - in the bad mood.

The same tendency is seen in the students’ answers: normal mood (50%), low spirit (27%). However, there are three times as many pupils (compared to teachers) who prefer to watch violent scenes in a good mood (20%), that probably is not surprisingly for young people to be in a good mood overall more frequently than for adults.
