Optimism and constructive thought patterns are hallmarks of positive thinking that improves emotional and cognitive flexibility. The current study explored the impact of positive thinking on problem solving among students. A cross-sectional study design was used, and a convenient method of data collection was implemented. Using the Positive Thinking Scale (PTS) and Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI), this study investigated their association with problem-solving techniques among 250 undergraduate students (57.8% male, 42.2% female). A regression study confirmed that positive thinking was a predictor of problem-solving abilities (β =.34, *p* <.001, R² =.12), and a correlational design showed a significant positive association (*r* =.34, *p* <.01). Gender differences were not detected by independent samples *t*tests (*p* >.05). These results support Fredrickson's (2001) broaden-and-build theory and imply that encouraging optimistic thinking could help children become better problem solvers. There is also a discussion on the implications of educational initiatives.
