Linguistic expressions are widely used to reflect the decision maker's evaluations more easily and clearly in the decision-making problems, The Double Hierarchy Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Set (DHHFLTS), an extension of linguistic expressions, helps the decision maker to reflect their hesitant evaluations in complex decision making problems using two different sets of linguistic terms. Correlation measurements are used as an important tool in making decisions by making comparative evaluations in complex decision making problems based on common criteria. In this study, a new method is proposed to improve the existing correlation measurement method using DHHFLTSs. The proposed method aims to increase the reflective power of hesitant thoughts in the evaluation process by including fuzzy linguistic expressions in the calculation process. In order to prove the validity of the proposed method, the original problem of choosing the most suitable player for the positions in football sport is considered as a Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problem. Correlation values and assignment results obtained from the proposed method are compared with the current method values. Consistency of results and values between methods reveals the validity of the proposed method.
