目的-本文的目的是研究冰岛在国家经济崩溃后的阶级意识。设计/方法/途径-这个相对导向的案例研究使用新的调查数据、冰岛的二级数据和2005年世界价值观调查数据。数据进行分析，使用合成韦伯的理论的类和参考组theory.Findings -相反，传统的智慧，冰岛人的阶级意识。大多数人认识并理解类术语，并愿意将自己分配到类中。与韦伯一致，冰岛人对自己的阶级地位有着相当强烈的意识，这一方面可以从主观阶级和经济阶级之间的密切关系中得到证明，另一方面也可以从主观阶级和阶级指标中得到证明。与参照群体理论相一致，在整个阶级结构中揭示了一种主观的“中产阶级”倾向。冰岛人对自己的阶级地位也有更多的“中产阶级”观点，平均而言，他们比大多数其他国家的人都要高。
