Abstract

The roles of individuals in an actual rumors network are different, so the rumors network is unequal. And the authoritative individual who has public authority (PA) has a significant impact on others. This paper proposes the PA-BDI model based on public authority and BDI model, and study the model structure and the reasoning process for individuals in unequal rumors networks. With the help of Anylogic, the actual course of rumor spreading is simulated based on the individual model of PA-BDI. Simulation experiment takes the event that citizens rush to purchase salt owning to Japanese Earthquake into consideration. The result of experiment indicates that the simulation can generally fit the actual event on the whole. Therefore, the PA-BDI model and the simulation in this paper can reflect the action of individuals in the network of rumor spreading.
