摘要：作为一个自由交流的平台，微博已经成长成为强大的舆论工具，民众的情绪在这里得到集中表达。同时，微博信息来源既有真实也有虚，虚构的微博谣言在不同程度上影响着我们的生活。
究及微博谣言的起因，当社会出现热点或突然事件时，谣言成为抒发不满情绪的载体，甚至成为事件升级的“导火索”；另一方面，微博谣言正是借助 “草根性”平台，把很多普遍存在的社会心理和社会问题通过谣言的形式表达出来。
及时辟谣、澄清事实不仅是化解民众情绪的必要手段，对于维持社会稳定、防止公共危机事件发生也都具有重要的意义。以上两点是本文研究的重点。
本文主要分为三个部分，第一部分简述谣言概念，通过案例说明谣言的无处不在，并对社会生活影响严重；第二部分探讨微博谣言广泛传播的原因，并从谣言的五个种类说明微博辟谣的必要性；第三部分通过官方微博辟谣，说明微博辟谣对于社会稳定的重要。
