The well-known Banach contraction principle states that every contraction mapping on a complete metric space has a unique fixed point. However, an exact analogue of this result is not true in general in probabilistic metric space (PM-space). In this paper, by imposing a growth condition on the distance distribution function, it is proved that for a large class of triangle functions, contraction mappings on complete PM-spaces have a unique fixed point.
