International audience; The aim of this article is to present an international research on the social representation of the economic crisis. Given the complexity and the recency of this object, we chose a multimethodological approach. The data analysis was conducted in three successive stages: descriptive, interpretative, and comparative. In each country, the sample was made of participants from three different socio- economic categories: bankers, small merchants, economy students. This choice of categories allowed us to empirically test the concept of “distance to the object”. Strategies and techniques of data collection and processing are complex and quite innovative. In this article, we’ll present only results related to the first phase of the whole research.; L’article présente une recherche internationale sur la représentation sociale de la crise économique. Etant donné la complexité et l’extrême actualité de l’objet, on a choisi une approche "multi-méthode".

Le choix de l’échantillon nous permet de tester empiriquement la notion de «distance à l’objet». Les stratégies et les techniques de relevé et d’analyse des données sont complexes et sous certains aspects absolument novatrices. Dans cet article, on présentera seulement les données relatives à la première étape de la recherche.
