Under general characteristics differences, gender does not constitute a factor causing occupational stress and anxiety of the teachers using cross-media teaching. With the increase in the use of cross-media teaching, teachers feel gradually increase of occupational stress and trait anxiety in more work tasks, and occupational stress and state anxiety shows ups and downs due to lack of school policy support. From the relationship between occupational stress and anxiety, occupational stress and sub-variables without leadership and administrative support, overloaded work, relationships with colleagues, and relationships with parents are all positively correlates with anxiety and have significant positive effects. Thereinto, whether the influence of occupational stress sub-variable on anxiety, or the state anxiety and trait anxiety of the anxiety sub-variables, overloaded work and lack of leadership and administrative support have always been the key factors that cause anxiety. Therefore, if the school or the relevant organization provides appropriate support and assistance to cross-media teaching, or appropriately reduce heavy tasks of teachers in cross-media teaching, so as to relieve occupational press and anxiety of the teachers, create good teaching quality, and promote the development of teaching technology.
