In this article, the parameter of the decision maker’s familiarity with the attributes of the alternatives is introduced for the first time in dynamic multi-attribute group decision making to avoid the disadvantages arising from the inappropriate grouping of decision makers. We combine it with fuzzy soft rough set theory and dynamic multi-attribute-grouping decision making to obtain a new decision model, i.e., dynamic chaotic multiple-attribute group decision making. Second, we provide an algorithm for solving this model under a weighted T-spherical fuzzy soft rough set, which can not only achieve symmetry between decision evaluation and fuzzy information but also establish a good symmetrical balance between decision makers and attributes (evaluation indexes). Finally, a specific numerical computation case is proposed to illustrate the convenience and effectiveness of our constructed algorithm. Our contributions to the literature are: (1) We introduced familiarity for the first time in dynamic multi-attribute group decision making. This makes our given dynamic chaotic multi-attribute group decision-making (DCMAGDM) model more general and closer to the actual situation; (2) we combined dynamic chaotic multi-attribute group decision making with T-spherical fuzzy soft rough set theory to make the model more realistic and reflect the actual situation. In addition, our choice of T-spherical fuzzy soft rough set allows the decision maker to engage in a sensible evaluation rather than sticking to numerical size choices; and (3) we constructed a new and more convenient sorting/ranking algorithm based on weighted T-spherical fuzzy soft rough sets.
