Is it true that yawns are contagious?

Using the dictionary definition of 'contagious' , No they are not since yawns are not passed on by physical contact as would be the case for contagion. I suspect the questioner meant to ask whether yawns are capable of being passed on to another person. The answer to this question is yes, since by a process of suggestion the person witnessing the yawn receives a subconscious signal telling them that they too can enjoy the relaxation and release that the other person is experiencing. This will then result in them yawning in sympathy with the other person.
