When broken down further, this equates to an average of 14 minutes a day, or a total of 86 hours, 'cyber stalking' people they don't know, according to Voucher Codes Pro.
Of those who took part in the study, 72% admitted the most interesting form of stalking is of an ex's new love interest, while 64% said they 'stalked' attractive people for their potential next mate.
Of those who checked on their ex partner's love interests, 66% of them were women. However, men are three times more likely to browse profiles of attractive women on a regular basis. In a further step, those who like to know what their ex's are getting up to, admit to creating fake profiles so their former flame would add them as a friend and they could monitor what they were doing and who they were dating.
Elsewhere, 48% revealed they looked at their partner's friends and family profiles to see if they have any hot friends they do not know about, while 27% claim they talk to their colleagues outside of working hours in an effort to find out more about them outside of the office.
George Charles, spokesperson for VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, who conducted the survey, said: "When first looking into this study, I must admit I didn't expect the results to be quite so high, particularly when it came to those admitting they check their ex's new partner profiles.
"Yet once one takes into account just how many romantic and platonic relationships are formed, and then finish online and over social media, it doesn't seem as surprising.
"I think just about everyone who has recently dealt with a break-up can appreciate how overwhelming the temptation can sometimes be not to spend hours and hours scouring the internet for information on how they are dealing with it.
"Having said that, it is of some concern that 14% of respondents admitted to creating fake profiles in order to 'stranger stalk' on social media. I would strongly suggest some of those people log off their computers for now!"
