summaryThis study explores the social representations of the European economic crisis generated by lay people. Several studies have described and studied mental and social representations in the economic domain (Leiser et al.,2010 ; Allen et al.,2005 ;Verg?es,1998 ; Savadori, 2001). Economic crises and particularly the current crisis that the European Union is facing, have dramatic consequences (social, political, economic…) and enable speci-fic lay social representations. The aim of this study is to look at these particular economic crisis representations. We examined lay perceptions of the current economic crisis through 130 questionnaires administered via internet. We were able to identify three major explanations of the economic crisis (through a pattern of economic theories).
