'''Probabilistic thinking''' is a way of approaching situations and potential problems by considering the likelihood of a different range of outcomes on a continuum rather than assuming a single, certain outcome. It involves acknowledging uncertainty, estimating probabilities, and making sound and wise decisions based on expected value. This approach can lead to more informed decisions and better management of risk in various aspects of life.

[[Rational thinking]] employs probabilistic thinking. The opposite of probabilistic thinking is all-or-nothing thinking, having an [[optimist bias]] such as having a "lottery mentality" or being a [[pessimist]] who engages in [[negative thinking]] (See: [[Cognitive bias]]).
