Everyone knows that having your nose in your phone is a pretty unhealthy habit, but new research suggests that it could even be a sign of depression.

According to new Baylor University research, people who check their phones constantly could be trying to improve a negative mood.

.....

The data revealed that those who use their smartphones more frequently are more prone to moodiness, materialism and temperamental behavior, and are less able to focus their attention on the task at hand. (These two things may in fact go hand-in-hand, as a tendency to mind-wander [url=http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~dtg/KILLINGSWORTH & GILBERT %282010%29.pdf]has been associated [/url]with unhappy moods.) Unsurprisingly, people with impulsive personalities were also more prone to addictive smartphone use.
