Considering that the time-varying nature of decision information can have a specific impact on the psychology of decision makers, in this paper, a dynamic decision-making method based on the cumulative prospect theory is proposed. Combining this with infinite parameterization of fuzzy soft sets, a time series interval triangular fuzzy soft set is presented, which has characteristics of boundedness, monotonicity, and symmetry. Then, based on the new information priority principle, the exponential decay model is used to determine the time weight coefficient, and a static fuzzy soft matrix is obtained. Furthermore, a method of calculating psychological utility values is proposed, in which the threshold-reference point set is introduced to analyze the psychological \u201cprofit and loss\u201d values. Simultaneously, the time probability of the decision-making scenario is transformed into the corresponding weight function. On the basis of prospect maximization theory and maximum entropy theory, an optimization model for determining the weight of decision parameters is established. The cumulative prospect values of the alternatives are given to achieve the best choice for the alternatives. Finally, an example showed the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16030276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,27]],"date-time":"2024-02-27T11:52:55Z","timestamp":1709034775000},"page":"276","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Dynamic Decision Making of Decision-Makers\u2019 Psychological Expectations Based on Interval Triangular Fuzzy Soft Sets"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9783-9264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Bai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Economic and Management College, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Economic and Management College, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Economic and Management College, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qianqian","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Policy Institute, National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center, Beijing 100040, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1007\/s13369-019-03891-x","article-title":"Resilient supplier selection through introducing a new interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy evaluation and decision-making framework","volume":"44","author":"Davoudabadi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Arab.
