The authors have proved the following probabilistic version of a theorem of \textit{D. W. Boyd} and \textit{J. S. W. Wong} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 20, 458--464 (1969; Zbl 0175.44903)]. Theorem: If \(T\) is a self map on a complete probabilistic metric space \((M,F,\tau)\) satisfying: (i) there exists \(x\in M\), its orbits \(O_T(x)\) is bounded; (ii) there is a lower semi-continuous from the left, nondecreasing function \(\varphi: [0,\infty] \to [0, \infty]\) (with \(\varphi(0)=0\) and \(\varphi(t)>t\) for \(t>0)\) such that \(T\) is \(\varphi\)-contractive. Then \(T\) has a unique fixed point. Subsequently several consequences of the result above are also obtained.
