In this paper we deal with divergence measures between two actions in decision-making models when we have the information given by utility values. A definition of divergence in which we generalize fuzzy measures is proposed and we show the relation among divergence measures, fuzzy measures and utility. We also propose a new concept using the information of a probability distribution. Finally, the results are applied to a practical example.
