The result shows that: (1) the credibility of both government information and media information are greater than that of information released by ordinary Netizen; (2) the credibility produced in both earthquake relief stage and post-earthquake reconstruction stage are greater than that produced in pre-earthquake stage; (3) the credibility of network news is significantly greater than that of both forum information and instant messages; (4) the credibility of network public crisis information evaluated by Netizen has significant correlations with Netizens network experiences and trust propensity, but the age and gender of Netizen.
