Analytical model of misinformation of a social network node

Abstract

This paper presents the research of the influence of cognitive, behavioral, representational factors on the susceptibility of the participants in social networks to misinformation, as well as on the activity of the nodes in this regard. The importance of this research consists of method of blocking the propaganda. This is very important because when people involuntarily acquire information some of them experience an undesired change in their social attitude. Such phenomena typically lead towards the information warfare. A model was developed during this research for calculating the level of misinformation of the social network participant (network node) based on the model of iterative learning process.
