RETRACTED: An MAGDM approach with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic number for mental health education evaluation of college students

Abstract

Generally speaking, the evaluation of mental health education (MHE) in colleges is an activity and process of evaluating the elements, processes and effects of MHE in schools by systematically collecting relevant information, following reasonable evaluation principles and applying specialized evaluation methods and techniques according to certain evaluation index systems and value judgment systems. The fundamental goal of MHE evaluation in colleges is to promote and regulate the scientific, healthy and smooth development of MHE in colleges and universities, improve the quality of MHE, promote the reform of MHE, build a good psychological atmosphere in colleges and universities, and effectively improve the psychological quality and mental health of college students. The MHE evaluation of college students is looked as multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). In this paper, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic number cross-entropy (2TLNN-CE) method is defined based on the traditional cross-entropy and 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs). Then, 2TLNN-CE method is established for MAGDM. Finally, a numerical example for MHE evaluation of college students was given and some comparisons are also conducted to further illustrate advantages of the built method.
