论文摘要
操纵政治选举，罢工金融体系甚至煽动暴动的假新闻比在线真实新闻更具病毒性，从而导致社会不稳定和自助民主。假新闻在线的更容易的传染力可以通过它带来的更大的愤怒来解释。 Twitter和Weibo中的相同结果表明，该机制与平台无关。此外，诸如增加愤怒之类的情绪中的突变将逐步加快信息传播。具体而言，将愤怒的职业增加0.1并将Joy的职业减少0.1将在微博数据集中产生近6个转发。离线问卷显示，愤怒会导致焦虑管理和信息共享方面更受到激励的受众，因此，假新闻比在线真实新闻更具传染性。可以实施诸如在社交媒体中标记愤怒之类的治疗方法，以减慢或防止假新闻的传染。
Fake news that manipulates political elections, strikes financial systems, and even incites riots is more viral than real news online, resulting in unstable societies and buffeted democracy. The easier contagion of fake news online can be causally explained by the greater anger it carries. The same results in Twitter and Weibo indicate that this mechanism is independent of the platform. Moreover, mutations in emotions like increasing anger will progressively speed up the information spread. Specifically, increasing the occupation of anger by 0.1 and reducing that of joy by 0.1 will produce nearly 6 more retweets in the Weibo dataset. Offline questionnaires reveal that anger leads to more incentivized audiences in terms of anxiety management and information sharing and accordingly makes fake news more contagious than real news online. Cures such as tagging anger in social media could be implemented to slow or prevent the contagion of fake news at the source.
