AB  - With technologies that have democratized the production and reproduction of 
      information, a significant portion of daily interacted posts in social media has 
      been infected by rumors. Despite the extensive research on rumor detection and 
      verification, so far, the problem of calculating the spread power of rumors has 
      not been considered. To address this research gap, the present study seeks a 
      model to calculate the Spread Power of Rumor (SPR) as the function of 
      content-based features in two categories: False Rumor (FR) and True Rumor (TR). 
      For this purpose, the theory of Allport and Postman will be adopted, which it 
      claims that importance and ambiguity are the key variables in rumor-mongering and 
      the power of rumor. Totally 42 content features in two categories "importance" 
      (28 features) and "ambiguity" (14 features) are introduced to compute SPR. The 
      proposed model is evaluated on two datasets, Twitter and Telegram. The results 
      showed that (i) the spread power of False Rumor documents is rarely more than 
      True Rumors. (ii) there is a significant difference between the SPR means of two 
      groups False Rumor and True Rumor. (iii) SPR as a criterion can have a positive 
      impact on distinguishing False Rumors and True Rumors.
