'''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 [[optimism bias]] such as having a "lottery mentality" or being a [[pessimist]] who engages in [[negative thinking]] (See: [[Cognitive bias]]).
