Population Thinking
By contrast to Individual Thinking, a reasoning and mode of reasoning that dynamically integrates fluxes in human populations, sociogeographic spaces, and time. It observes, analyzes, and predicts the experiences of a whole group of people defined in a specific way (e.g., geophysically, socially, clinically, biologically).42, 211, 426 Population thinking is important—perhaps indispensable—for Group Comparisons. See also clinical study; prevention paradox; strategy, “population”.
