The density-intensity theory of crowding suggests that the negative effects of crowding are related to the density (i.e., number) of people in a particular space and the intensity of the interactions between them. The more people there are, the greater the potential for intense interactions, which can lead to feelings of crowding. However, the idea that "the more, the merrier" implies that the presence of more people can actually enhance social interactions and increase positive feelings, which is consistent with the density-intensity theory of crowding.
