this headline/title (above) uses psychological terms of art in confusing way. Depression is a condition that is characterized by repeated periods of dysphoria, feeling unhappy. So I'd suggest the headline refer to dysphoria. Anxiety is a feeling, but social anxiety starts to cross over to referring to a condition, but this one gets a pass. Neuroticism is a scale for the propensity toward unhappy feelings for all of us. People high in neuroticism would include people with depression and anxiety disorders who would be more likely to feel dysphoria and anxiety when confronted by phone use by friends who seem to be ignoring them. (I didn't plow through the whole article yet, but it doesn't use these terms at the top. I was put off reading by the word phub... can't even say it. I like being with friends who don't care if I use my phone, and I allow them to. You can just say "hey, listen to me right now" if you want, there is no snubbing involved, or if there is, call it out.)
