Summary

Yawning is actually a difficult case when it comes to these contagious behaviors. It is the most contagious behavior – it’s meant to be automatic, it’s something that you can’t stop. The research discovered that contagious yawning is connected with our social group and how close we feel to the people in it. So, essentially, yawning is more contagious if we identify with the person who yawns first. If we feel close to, and belong in, the same group as the person who exhibits the behavior – the person who does the yawning – we are likely to yawn too.
