A model and simulation of the emotional contagion of netizens in the process of rumor refutation

Abstract The emotional contagion of netizens is an important factor that accelerates the spread of rumors, and it is also key to the effectiveness of rumor refutation. Based on the existing emotional model, we improved the method for calculating the emotional value and the transformation rules to si...
