Game Analysis on Graph of Rumor Spreading Behavior in Online Social Networks
The rumors breed and spread in the complex social network.In order to control rumors effectively,we explore the influencing factors of rumor forwarding behavior based on the game theory on the graph by introducing the elaboration likelihood model(ELM)and cognitive theory of emotion.Then,from the perspective of information content differentiation,an evolution game model for rumor spreading behavior of social network users is established.The simulation results illustrate that:1)Increasing users'interest in rumor/anti-rumor information directly affects whether they forward the rumor or refute the rumor;2)The release strength of information has a direct effect on the dissemination of the information;3)Users are more willing to forward the information of the close nodes,when they receive the information with uncertainty;4)Rumors are more likely to be spread when they contain positive contents and when the user's personal emotions are unstable.Accordingly,this paper puts forward relevant suggestions to control the spread of rumors in social networks,and provides some theoretical support for relevant departments to formulate effective rumor control strategies.
