doesn't think vs don't think

Both "doesn't think" and "don't think" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Doesn't think" is used with singular subjects (he, she, it), while "don't think" is used with plural subjects (you, we, they). Therefore, the choice between the two depends on the subject of the sentence.
