This paper is devoted to study the Painlevé–Kuratowski convergence of solution sets for perturbed symmetric set-valued quasi-equilibrium problems (SSQEP)[Formula: see text] via improvement sets. By virtue of the oriented distance function, the sufficient conditions of Painlevé–Kuratowski convergence of efficient solution sets for (SSQEP)[Formula: see text] are obtained through a new nonlinear scalarization technical. Then, under [Formula: see text]-convergence of set-valued mappings, the Painlevé–Kuratowski convergence of weak efficient solution sets for (SSQEP)[Formula: see text] is discussed. What’s more, with suitable convergence assumptions, we also establish the sufficient conditions of lower Painlevé–Kuratowski convergence of Borwein proper efficient solution sets for (SSQEP)[Formula: see text] under improvement sets. Some interesting examples are formulated to illustrate the significance of the main results.
