Soft set theory, proposed by Molodtsov, has been regarded as an effective mathematical tool to deal with uncertainties. In this paper, first we correct some of the problematic cases in a previous paper by Aktas and Cagman [H. Aktas, N. Cagman, Soft sets and soft groups, Inf. Sci. 177 (2007) 2726-2735]. Moreover, we introduce the concepts of normalistic soft group and normalistic soft group homomorphism, study their several related properties, and investigate some structures that are preserved under normalistic soft group homomorphisms.
