That might also be an issue of culture. I suppose it would affect different people differently but I highly doubt that most people would become bad to each other when they are less stressed and have more stability.

That however, has been studied

True, but often as far as I know research like that is about how people respond to sudden changes and local crises, not necessarily how they would react in a different social system. But I do also expect people to treat each other better if the conditions of their lives are better.

The studies I happen to know about focussed on population density and resource abundance/scarcity. While not an exact analog I think they do give a decent estimate of this situation
