The survey, which was conducted by Vision Critical, found that almost one in four men (23%) had been influenced by their friends who were already divorced or separated. This compares to 15% of women.
Of the 2000 people that took part in the study, 11% admitted they wanted the same happiness as their single – or separated – friends.
Family members were also found to be a source of influence, but to a lesser extent, with 10% of men and 9% of women saying their decision to divorce had been swayed by a relative.
For 4% of respondents, they had been influenced by a television storyline, with a further 1% citing the behaviour or opinion of a celebrity as their influence.
In response to the study, a law firm put forward a theory that while women tend to make their own decision when it comes to ending a marriage, men are more likely to be swayed by talking to their single or separated friends in the pub.
The report added that because men are so easily influenced, when one gets divorced it can create a ripple effect that, in turn, undermines the marriages of his companions.
Christina Blacklaws, of The Co-operative Legal Services, said: "It's human nature to look to others for reassurance when it comes to relationships.
"When one couple splits up, others often notice the cracks in their own relationship, leading to a ripple effect throughout a social circle or family."
