They are contagious in the sense that other people may start laughing or yawning when they see you doing it, but they are not diseases.

Note that this is a problem mostly when you are in an upright posture.Yawning is contagious, at least to humans. Many animals yawn, but only dogs, chimps, and humans are known to yawn after someone else does. There is no conclusive evidence why we yawn to begin with, but it's possible that contagious yawning may have something to do with social bonding and empathy. For example, autistic people tend not to yawn after another person does, and children under the age of four don't do it either. This suggests that yawning after someone else is a sympathetic and social act, similar to unconscious mimicking.When tired, yawning is psychologically "contagious", but not physically contagious in the most common sense of the word.
