I head something like you will be more likely to yawn after someone you admire or generally like yawns. It's physiological?

I read an marketing book once and it had a section on contagious ideas, and one was yawning. It talked for like a page about yawning and all that... and at the end it asks... "Did you yawn? 85% of people who will read this have."


I did.
