The article examines the frequency of the content of aggression in the media and its impact on the human psyche. The article presents the results of a study of the frequency of manifestation of aggression in the media, using the method of quantitative content analysis, which is based on the study of the content of any documents, media materials, literature, works of art, personal and official documents. As an object of research, we identified the frequency of manifestation of aggression, the material of the study is a random sample of 7 films ("The Great Gatsby", "Pompeii", "State Councilor", "The Third Extra", "The Diary of Memory", "Law Abiding Citizen" and "Bruce omnipotent"). The units under study are movie episodes, which we have divided into 7 categories: open manifestation of aggression (verbal and non-verbal); display of humor; unreal situations (fantasy); manifestation of sentimentality; neutral and positively oriented neutral plots; narration; manifestation of fear. Having considered all the units of study of a random sample of movies, we came to the following conclusion: aggression is one of the most common categories on television. According to the results of the study, it can be assumed that one of the reasons for the aggressiveness of modern society is the presence of a large amount of negative information in the media, this is due to the fact that a person tends to "absorb" and copy forms of behavior "from the screen", in particular, this applies to children aged up to 12 years old.
