The questionnaire was responded to by 331 teachers (70%; \(\mu=2.95\)). A total of 110 participants (33%) were males, 185 (56%) were females, and 36 (11%) did not report their gender. Sixty-six respondents (20%) were under 40 years old, 88 (27%) were aged from 40 to 50, and 159 (48%) were over 50. Eighteen subjects (5%) did not provide their age. Most of the participants (192, 58%) experienced a physical/psychological form of WV. Fifteen subjects (4.5% of the total sample; 13 females) stated that they had been victims of physical aggression in the last 12 months, 47 (14%; 36 females) during their lifetime and four (1%; three females) on the way to or from their workplace. Forty-nine victims of physical aggression, when describing their experience, reported that the perpetrator was a male in 80% of cases, a student in 57%, a parent in 20%, a colleague in 14%, a superior in 2%, and a stranger in 4% (the remaining 3% did not specify). Eighty-two percent of victims described the perpetrator as emotionally upset. Fourteen percent considered changing their job because of aggression, and 12% actually changed it. Twenty-nine subjects (9% of the total sample; 18 females) reported that they had been victims of threats in the last 12 months, 74 (22%; 40 females) during their lifetime and seven (2%; four females) on the way to or from their workplace. Seventy-nine subjects (24% of the total sample; 40 females) indicated that they had been victims of verbal aggression at work in the last 12 months, 145 (44%; 84 females) during their lifetime and 22 (7%; 11 females) on the way to or from their workplace. Nineteen subjects (6% of the total sample; 12 females) reported that they had been victims of stalking in the last 12 months. Among victims of threats, verbal aggression and stalking, 143 described at least one episode. They reported that the perpetrator was a male in 54% of cases, a student in 19%, a student's parent in 33%, a colleague in 31%, and a superior in 17%. Thirty-seven percent of victims considered changing their job because of aggression, and 14% actually changed it. To better understand the phenomenon and its consequences for teacher victims, a dichotomic variable (victim/nonvictim of WV) was created. In the category \"victim\", teachers who had experienced WV once or more were included. No significant difference was found based on gender (\(\chi^{2}\) = 0.015; \(p\) = 0.90) or age (\(\chi^{2}\) = 3.7; \(p\) = 0.8). The variable \"victim/nonvictim of WV\" was used to compare the two groups regarding workplace satisfaction, burnout and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. _Workplace satisfaction:_ A one-way ANOVA was performed to compare victims and nonvictims of WV. The Workplace Satisfaction Scale was introduced as the dependent variable. The results are reported in Table 1.  
As illustrated in Table 1, victims of workplace violence reported a significantly lower level of workplace satisfaction (mean (M) = 19.40; s.d. = 3.94) than nonvictims (M = 21.01; s.d. = 3.95). _Burrout:_ One-way ANOVA OLBI analyses were performed to compare victims and nonvictims of WV. The general OLBI, measuring burnout, and the two subscales of exhaustion and disengagement were introduced as dependent variables. The results are reported in Table 2.  
As noted in Table 2, compared with nonvictims, victims of workplace violence reported a significantly higher level of general burnout (M = 35.21 vs. 32.98; s.d. = 8.13 vs. 7.95) and of both exhaustion (M = 18.78 vs. 17.74; s.d. = 4.77 vs. 4.42) and disengagement (M = 16.41 vs. 15.18; s.d. = 4.49 vs. 4.48). _Regulatory emotional self-efficacy:_ One-way ANOVA analyses were performed to compare victims and nonvictims of WV. The RESE, scale measuring regulatory self-efficacy, and the two subscales related to positive and negative emotions were introduced as dependent variables. The results are reported in Table 3.
