Close friends and family are more likely than acquaintances or strangers to catch someone yawning, Livescience.com reported.据热点科学网站报导，一项新的研究指出，一个人如果打了一个哈欠，他的亲近朋友和家人比其他人或陌生人更容易跟着打。A new study suggests this yawning contagion is, in part, the result of empathy, in which we attempt to see things from another persons angle and respond to that persons emotions.研究者称之为，这种打哈欠的传染，部分是由于共感起到，也就是说，我们企图去从对方的角度看来问题，并对对方的情绪作出对此。While yawns do not seem to have a connection with any particular emotion (unlike, say, smiles, which could indicate happiness), in some ways we are forming an emotional connection by mimicking a yawn, Matthew Campbell of Emory University said.埃默里大学的马修坎贝尔指出，哈欠或许不与任何一种类似的情绪涉及，所以在或许上，我们通过回来对方打哈欠，或其它的表达方式，来构成一种情绪上的回响。By mimicking the yawn we become better able to understand how tired, perhaps, or bored the other person is. 通过回来对方打哈欠，我们能更佳地解读和感觉对方有多艰辛，或者说多无趣。
