People who play Pokemon Go are more likely to be upbeat, friendly and positive, according to a new study.

If you’re still out there trying to catch ’em all in Pokemon Go , then there’s good news (aside from all the Pokemon fun you’re having). According to a new study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, published in the journal Media Psychology , you’re also more likely to be cheerful and friendly than your non-Pokemon Go-playing peers.
The team started studying the effects of the game on its players not long after its launch in July 2016. They surveyed 400 people three weeks in, 40 percent of whom were playing Pokemon Go.
