Some entropy can make the model have the effect of diversifying investment, which is very important. This paper mainly studies four kinds of entropy. First, we obtained four definitions of entropy from the literature, and gave the function of fuzzy entropy in different psychological states through strict mathematical proof. Then, we construct a fuzzy portfolio entropy decision model based on the investor\u2019s psychological states, and compared it with the possibilistic mean\u2013variance model. Then we presented a numerical example and compared the five different models established. By comparing the results, we find that: (a) The possibilistic mean\u2013Shannon entropy model solves the problem of the possibility of excessive concentration in the possibilistic mean\u2013variance model, but the dispersion is not enough. Conversely, the possibilistic mean\u2013Yager entropy is over\u2013emphasized due to the definition of its own function, such that it gave an investment pattern of equal weight distribution or approximate average distribution. (b) The results of possibilistic mean\u2013proportional entropy can be said to be the middle status of the portfolios of possibilistic mean\u2013Shannon entropy and possibilistic mean\u2013Yager entropy. This portfolio not only achieves a certain rate of return, but also disperses the risk to some extent. (c) The lines of satisfaction for portfolios derived from different models are approximately U\u2013shaped with the increase in return preference. (d) The possibilistic mean\u2013Shannon entropy model tends to have the highest portfolio satisfaction with the same psychological state of the investor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e22101125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,5]],"date-time":"2020-10-05T08:35:57Z","timestamp":1601886957000},"page":"1125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison and Research on Diversified Portfolios with Several Entropy Measures Based on Different Psychological States"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Xue","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics, Sun Yat\u2013Sen University, Guangzhou 510275, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuangjie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"77","article-title":"Portfolio selection","volume":"7","author":"Markowitz","year":"1952","journal-title":"J.
