Summary
Selecting optimal waste electrical and electronics equipment (WEEE) recycling partners is crucial for environmental sustainability. This study introduces novel multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) techniques using interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy information to improve WEEE recycler selection.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Decision Science
- Fuzzy Mathematics
Background:
- Waste electrical and electronics equipment (WEEE) recycling is vital for environmental protection and reducing carbon emissions.
- Selecting appropriate WEEE recycling partners is a complex decision-making (DM) challenge due to numerous qualitative and quantitative factors.
- Effective WEEE recycling partner assessment is essential for sustainable environmental growth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose novel multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) techniques for evaluating WEEE recycling partners.
- To develop a decision-making method using interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy (IVFF) information and Hamacher aggregation operators (AOs).
- To address the complex problem of selecting WEEE recycling partners in an eco-friendly manner.
Main Methods:
- Development of specific Hamacher aggregation operators, including weighted averaging and geometric variants.
- Application of these operators within an MADM framework under interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy (IVFF) conditions.
- Implementation of the proposed technique in a case study for e-waste recycling partner selection in China.
Main Results:
- The proposed MADM technique effectively evaluates WEEE recycling partners using IVFF information.
- A case study in China demonstrated the practical application and efficacy of the developed method.
- Comparison with existing techniques confirmed the proposed model's productivity, coherence, accuracy, and consistency.
Conclusions:
- The developed MADM approach provides a robust framework for selecting WEEE recycling partners.
- The technique is highly compatible and applicable for handling complex decision-making problems in WEEE recycling.
- This research contributes to more eco-friendly and efficient WEEE recycling practices through improved partner selection.

01:20Decision Making
109
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

01:14Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance
77
Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to a psychological situation where a person must choose between two or more unpleasant alternatives. These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

01:37Reason and Intuition
6.4K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

6.0K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):
