Topic Reading-Vol.719-3/31/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Catching a yawn is linked to age, study shows.
Do you tend to yawn when others do? It seems that most people haven’t recognized that many do, especially the young, just like laughing or smiling.
A new research has found that yawning seems to be more contagious, just as laughing, than tiredness or energy levels. In other words, when someone yawns for whatever the cause is, people around the person tend to yawn. You might have observed or experienced such contagious effect in a meeting or classroom, especially among young people. But why?
It may be because the human tends to act more as a member of the group rather than as an individual.
Enjoy reading and learning about how people react to others’ behaviors.
