A recent study conducted in Framingham, Massachusetts found that divorce can be contagious, CBS New York reported on April 30.

After studying data from thousands of people for more than 30 years, the researchers at Brown University found that if someone’s friend got divorced, 75 percent of people were more likely to consider one themselves. The concept became more appealing to 33 percent of people even if only another friend of their friend got divorced. Researchers pointed out that social dissemination of information could be the reason divorce spreads in this manner.
