Amato (1983) found that as the population of a town or city increased, acts of prosocial behavior decreased. This phenomenon is often related to the concept of "urban overload," suggesting that people in more densely populated areas may be less likely to engage in prosocial behaviors due to the overwhelming number of social stimuli.
