Goldilocks principle

When it comes to stress, the Goldilocks principle seems to apply.

The Goldilocks principle states that something must fall within certain margins, as opposed to reaching extremes.

It's kind of the Goldilocks principle - not too hot, not too cold, but just right.

So the Goldilocks Principle applies: not never, not always, but just often enough.

The Goldilocks principle is applied across many disciplines, particularly developmental psychology, biology, economics and engineering.

This is the core of the notion of the habitable zone or Goldilocks Principle.

This concept has spread across many other disciplines, particularly developmental psychology, biology, economics and engineering where it is called the "Goldilocks Principle".

Which is about right, too, because he is baseball's Goldilocks principle: not too much, not too little, just right.

So on Iran, Syria, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Obama discovered the Goldilocks principle.

The Goldilocks principle or 'Goldilocks effect' is that something must be within limits: "not too hot, not too cold, but just right".

The Goldilocks principle is derived from a children's story "The Three Bears" in which a little girl named Goldilocks finds a house owned by three bears.

Neither maximum energy principles nor minimum entropy states are likely relevant, and appeals to "Goldilocks principles" (or other such fairy tales) are unnecessary to appreciate the emergence of complexity in Nature writ large.

"We've got a kind of Goldilocks principle - some places we think the prices are just right, some places we think they're too expensive and some places we think we need to put the price up."

Donald Shoup, author of "The High Cost of Free Parking" and a professor at UCLA, said dynamic pricing works because it allows motorists to follow the "Goldilocks principle," which balances supply against demand.

Mr. Gribbin makes much out of what he calls the "Goldilocks principle" - various features of nature, like the values of physical constants, which in principle could have any value but instead seem mysteriously tuned to propitious values.

He offered something of the "Goldilocks principle" for military affairs: not too much to thrust the nation into yet another war -- a word he deliberately avoided throughout his speech; not too little, which would invite humanitarian catastrophe; but just enough to set things right.

A theme in Big History is what has been termed Goldilocks conditions or the Goldilocks principle, which describes how "circumstances must be right for any type of complexity to form or continue to exist," as emphasized by Spier in his recent book.

Goldilocks pricing is a marketing strategy that, although not directly related to the Goldilocks principle, uses product differentiation to offer three versions of a product to corner different parts of the market: a high-end version, a middle version and a low-end version.

The balance between the varying demand for parking and the fixed supply of curb spaces is the Goldilocks Principle of parking prices: the price is too high if too many spaces are vacant, and too low if no spaces are vacant.

The Rare Earth Hypothesis uses the Goldilocks principle in the argument that a planet must neither be too far away from, nor too close to a star and galactic center to support life, while either extreme would result in a planet incapable of supporting life.

In communication, the Goldilocks principle describes the amount, type and detail of communication necessary in a system to maximize effectiveness while minimizing redundancy and excessive scope on the "too much" side and avoiding incomplete or inaccurate communication on the "too little" side.

Thus, it was found that the Goldilocks principle applies to metallicity as well; low-metallicity systems have low probabilities of forming terrestrial-mass planets at all, while excessive metallicities cause a large number of gas giants to develop, disrupting the orbital dynamics of the system and altering the habitability of terrestrial planets in the system.
