The impact of individual interest and refutation mechanism on rumor spread was investigated, and a new IWSR (Ignorant-Weak spreader-Strong spreader-Removal) rumor spread model was proposed. The basic reproduction number and equilibrium points of the model were calculated. Using Lyapunov stability theorem, Hurwitz criterion and LaSalle invariance principle, the local stability and global stability of some equilibrium points were proved. Through numerical simulations, it is concluded that increasing the effectivity of the governments' refutation actions or improving people' ability of rumor judgement can effectively suppress rumor spread. Finally, numerical simulations were conducted in WS (Watts-Strogatz) small-world network and BA (Barabási-Albert) scale-free network, showing that the network topology exerts significant influence on rumor spread.
