The Impact

We explore the impact of positive news on rumor spreading in this paper. It is a fact that most of the rumors related to hot events or emergencies can be propagated rapidly on the hotbed of online social networks. In Chinese words, it is better to divert rather than block. Therefore, we propose the spreading model [Formula: see text] in which positive news is a good factor to guide rumor spreading. Based on transition probability method, we have got the spreading parameters of the [Formula: see text] model by running the rumor spreading process in online social networks with scale-free characteristics. The results give a good proof that improving the activity of the positive news spreader [Formula: see text] derived from the [Formula: see text] model can guide and restrain the spreading speed of rumor smoothly.

As an important area of social networks, rumor spread has attracted the attention of many scholars. It aims to explore the rumor propagation, and to propose effective measures to curb the further spread of rumors. Different from some existing works, this paper believes that susceptible persons affected by rumor-refuting information will first enter the critical state, while ones who related to rumors will directly turn into the spread state. Therefore, this paper proposes a Susceptible-Infectious-Critical-Recovered (SICR) rumor model. In addition, considering that infectious persons with high levels of refuting rumors may cause emotional resonance among individuals, this model adds a connecting edge from the recovered to the infectious who are triggered by the information of refuting the rumors. First, the basic regeneration number [Formula: see text] is obtained by using the next generation matrix method. Then, the global stability of the rumor-free equilibrium [Formula: see text] and the persistence of rumor propagation are proved in detail in theoretical analysis. The simulation results show that the existence of a critical state can reduce the influence of rumors. Rumor refutation mechanism, as soon as possible to curb the spread of rumors, is an effective measure.

It is of great practical significance to figure out the propagation mechanism and outbreak condition of rumor spreading on online social networks. In our paper, we propose a multi-state reinforcement diffusion model for rumor spreading, in which the reinforcement mechanism is introduced to depict individual willingness towards rumor spreading. Multiple intermediate states are introduced to characterize the process that an individual's diffusion willingness is enhanced step by step. We study the rumor spreading process with the proposed reinforcement diffusion mechanism on two typical networks. The outbreak thresholds of rumor spreading on both two networks are obtained. Numerical simulations and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to illustrate the spreading process and verify the correctness of theoretical results. We believe that our work will shed some light on understanding how human sociality affects the rumor spreading on online social networks.

New Hypothesis

Rumor spreading is a good sample of spreading in which human beings are the main players in the spreading process. Therefore, in order to have a more realistic model of rumor spreading on online social networks, the influence of psycho-sociological factors particularly those which affect users’ reactions toward rumor/anti-rumor should be considered. To this aim, we present a new model that considers the influence of dissenting opinions on those users who have already believed in rumor/anti-rumor but have not spread the rumor/anti-rumor yet. We hypothesize that influence is a motive for the believers to spread their beliefs in rumor/anti-rumor. We derive the stochastic equations of the new model and evaluate it by using two real datasets of rumor spreading on Twitter. The evaluation results support the new hypothesis and show that the novel model which is relied on the new hypothesis is able to better represent rumor spreading.
