Abstract

The article analyzes psychological theories that describe the impact of demonstrations of violence in the media, as well as behavior (the impact can be either positive or negative). The article considers the short-term and long-term effect of media-image of violence and aggression, as well as the analysis of the psychological characteristics of the perception of children and adolescents. In particular, empirical research results, including media data on the emotional state and behavior of modern adolescents, are based on the survey «Teenagers and violence on the screen» (T. G. Shakhnovsky, 1997) at the Institute of Psychology named after L. S. Vygotsky, Russian State University for the Humanities
