New research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison suggests not only are Pokémon Go players walking more, they're happy people. While most research to date has focused on boosts in activity levels among Pokémon Go users, media researchers at UW-Madison studied the augmented reality game's psychological effects. The UW-Madison researchers asked questions about the respondents' emotional and social lives and level of activity before Pokémon Go. James Alex Bonus, a UW-Madison graduate student studying educational media, joined those playing the game to evaluate its effects. Pokémon Go creator Niantic now claims 65 million regular users and more than 650 million app downloads.
