1- Study of the Day: Those Who Love One Another, Yawn Together

This article by Hans Villarica is divided in 4 categories: Problem, Methodology, Results, and Conclusion. The problem is the phenomenon of contagious yawning. Which is something widely known but little understood. Studies have suggested that there is a link between the yawn reciprocation and human empathy. But there is no human behavior that ever proved that. The methodology used was that they tasted the effect of several variables, such as, country of origin, sex, social bonding, and yawn characteristics, on the spread of yawning. The result obtained said that contagion was highest in response to family and the conclusion is that we are more likely to reciprocate yawns that came from people we are the closest with.
