In other words, almost 3 times more of the questioned students that the teachers confessed the rise of aggressiveness, and 4 times more - the desensitization reaction. Although the reaction of isolation and unaffected psychological state is twice less frequent among the students. Thus, the students are more apt to changes in emotional state in response to screen violence.

It is worth noticing that men teachers reported their likeliness to feel an aggressive mood or indifference more often that women, while women teachers were most inclined to feel sad or agitated.

As we can see from the Table 8, almost half of the teachers remember the violent scenes for a long time, and only 16% (men twice as many as women) forget them right after the program’s over.

There is a striking similarity in the answers of teachers and students here. 54% of students remember screen violence for a long term period, and only 16% are able to forget them soon. The difference between boys/girls and men/women answers are similar, too.

These results led us to the following conclusion: 1) the time duration of the violent images lingering in one’s mind is determined by gender, not by the age; 2) almost half of the surveyed teachers and students remember the scenes of violence they’ve seen on the screen for a long time and only 16% of both of the groups do not remember them afterwards.

Only 14% of the teachers never talk about the violent scenes they have seen (women outnumber men by 3 times here). And the quarter of the surveyed teachers discuss these episodes regularly. The age range of teachers who are most likely to discuss the screen violence (42%) are 31-40 and 51-60. Less likely - 21-30 years old.

Thus in general teachers talk about the screen violence much less frequently than their students (25% of teachers vs. 46% of students). Moreover, in comparison with the students, the number of teachers who totally ignore the issue is twice more.

Comparative analysis of Table 5 and Table 6 state that on the whole teachers prefer to watch and discuss scenes of violence in the company of their spouses or friends (65 to 70%). In descending order follow the children/grandchildren as the possible interlocutors (30% - to watch together, and 44% to talk about it afterwards), students (21% for watching, 37 % for discussion), parents (10% for watching and 16 for discussion) and strangers (3% for watching and 14 for discussion).
