well seeing someone yawnin can cause others to yawn so yes you can say so but again it depends from person to person

I believe that you are predisposed to yawn if you aren't a slow acting person and see a person yawn.Just like if you weren't an active person and saw someone do a series of things really fast,you'd be tired just watching him.

indeed!!!

your mind interpretes another person yawning as a need for more oxygen and therefore sends an impules to your brain to yawn....and therefore breath in deeply...

Actually, there are special neurons in our brains that are designed to copy and mirror the actions of peoploe around them. It has been suspected that diseases like autism may be a result of theses neurons not functioning.

In a normal person, it means that upon seeing ssomeone yawn, your brain will suddenly give you the urge to yawn too. Next time you see someone yawn, see if you don't feel a bit like yawning yourself. Cool, huh?

Also, this could explain why watching people eat makes you hungry and why watching people spin makes osme people dizzy.

Yes. You can do an experiment. Start the ball rolling by yawning and notice that some others around you will start to yawn.
