Abstract

In multi-criteria decision-making scenarios involving real numbers, interval numbers, and a combination of membership and non-membership grades, accurate decision-making is crucial yet challenging. The integration of diverse grade values into a single value poses a significant challenge for decision-makers. To address this issue, this study introduces the concept of a cubic Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft set, facilitating information aggregation without ambiguity. The characteristics of correlation coefficients and aggregation operators are emphasized, underscoring their importance in decision-making processes. An algorithm based on correlation coefficients (CC) is proposed for the TOPSIS method, which ranks preferences based on their similarity to the ideal solution, applied here to examine how college students cope with academic stress. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated through a comparative study, wherein the correlation coefficient in the TOPSIS method is contrasted with existing distance measures (DMs). Results indicate the superiority of CC in the TOPSIS method over DMs. In addition to comparing the proposed method with existing distance measures, the efficacy of the proposed approach is further demonstrated through a comparative analysis with established neutrosophic distance measures. This comprehensive evaluation highlights the robustness and versatility of the proposed method in addressing the complexities of multi-criteria decision-making scenarios, particularly in assessing stress management strategies among college students, thus providing valuable contributions to decision-making contexts. This study contributes to enhancing decision-making processes, particularly in evaluating stress management strategies among college students, thereby offering valuable insights for academic contexts.
