decision making plays an important role in sport activities and is directly associated with sporting success or failure. on the other hand, one of the key issues in psychology of sports and behavioral sciences is sport orientation. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of action and state orientation with decision making behavior of expert female football players. 27 players...

although the subject of amending was reffered to in the draft constitution ,but due to revolution time circumstances,this principle was not approved.ten years of islamic state (1358 – 68 ) revealed some problems of the constitution like multiple decision making centers and existence of parallel organisations at administrative, legislative and judicial levels. after the war and considering appro...

nowadays, project selection is a vital decision in many organizations. because competition among research projects in order to gain more budgets and to attain new scientific domain has increased. due to multiple objectives and budgeting restrictions for academic research projects have led to the use of expert system for decision making by academic and research centers. the existing methods suff...

the current study set to extend a new vikor method as a compromise ranking approach to solve multiple criteria decision-making (mcdm) problems through intuitionistic fuzzy analysis. using compromise method in mcdm problems contributes to the selection of an alternative as close as possible to the positive ideal solution and far away from the negative ideal solution, concurrently. using atanasso...

In this paper, an interesting and easy method to solve the multi-dimensional  knapsack problem is presented. Although it belongs to the combinatorial optimization, but the proposed method belongs to the decision making field in mathematics. In order to, initially efficiency values for every item is calculated then items are ranked by using Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDA).  Finally, ite...

Subjects performed a decision task (Grether, 1980) in both a well-rested and experimentally sleep-deprived state. We found two main results: 1) final choice accuracy was unaffected by sleep deprivation, and yet 2) the estimated decision model differed significantly following sleep-deprivation. Following sleep deprivation, subjects placed significantly less weight on new information in forming t...

In this paper, we suggest an aspiration level approach using generalized data envelopment analysis (GDEA) and genetic algorithms (GA) in multiple criteria decision making such as engineering design problems. It will be shown that several Pareto optimal solutions close to an aspiration level of decision maker can be listed up as candidates of a final decision making solution by the proposed meth...
