Abstract

The continuous breeding and rapid spread of rumors in social networks poses a severe challenge to the effective utilization and scientific management of social media. Therefore, it is of great theoretical significance and application value to study the decision-making behavior of users in rumors spread in social networks and to reveal the rumor transmission rules. Based on the Ising model, this paper constructs a social network rumor propagation dynamics model and then reveals the rumor transmission rules. In the model, the Monte Carlo method is used to simulate the interaction between the user’s self-identity attribute (micropart), the user-user interaction (the middle part), and the social environment’s influence (the macroscopic part) to study user decision behavior of rumor spread in a social network system. The results show that, in the rumor propagation system, von Neumann entropy can quantify well the phase transition of the system and is consistent with the phase transition information obtained by measuring the spontaneous magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the system. In addition, the introduction of the self-identity characteristics of individual users into the Ising model has greatly changed the users’ decision-making behavior of rumor spreading and changed the internal structure of the system, thus changing the type of phase transition. As the degree of self-identification increases, the need for lower temperatures can change the orderly state of the system, and user behavior changes more rapidly. For the rumor transmission system, the state of close order is conducive to the blocking of rumors, thus maintaining social stability.

Highlights

  • With the wide use of social networks and the convenience of the media, rumors permeate all aspects of social life

  • With the strengthening of self-identity, the phase transition of the user decision in the rumor propagation system changes from the continuous phase to the discontinuous phase

  • The results show that after the von Neumann entropy concept is used to study the phase transitions and the critical phenomena in the classical thermodynamic system, we use the Ising model to obtain the critical information of the rumor propagation system by measuring the von Neumann entropy of the system

Summary

Introduction

With the wide use of social networks and the convenience of the media, rumors permeate all aspects of social life. The research [9,10,11,12,13,14] on identifying major depressive disorder (MDD) has provided important ideas and methods for rumor identification and dissemination It is of great theoretical significance and practical value to study rumors spreading rules of social network and stop rumors immediately, which can effectively control rumors and maintain social stability. The rumor spread in social media involves many factors such as information, users, and network environment. Based on the user’s attributes of the micropart, based on the interaction between the user parts of the micropart, and based on the environmental influence and positive and negative social reinforcement on the rumors of social media of the macropart has become an important research issue one. The experiments show that the interaction of the user itself, interaction between a user and another, and the social environment in which the user is located can well maintain the orderly state of the cyberspace and provide the decision basis for decisionmaking of the network governance
