Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to rank the causes of the slogan of some of the concepts of social science among the general public using the Fuzzy Analysis Hierarchy Process (FAHP). The research data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire based on paired comparisons from a sample of nine faculty members from the public universities of Tehran in social sciences and 98 Ph.D. students in social sciences in Tehran universities in 1400. Is. In this research, a 5 × 5 matrix was created for comparison and then, by assigning the values of the clock table, different two criteria were compared. Research findings have shown that social issues have the greatest impact on the generalization of the concepts of social sciences. Following the standard of social issues, the criteria for the availability of resources, the amount of translation and media transmission in the next rank are the reasons for the slogan of the concepts of social science among the general public. It should also be noted that the public awareness criterion in the ranking is in the final position.
