The Cross-Cultural and Multilingual Research Affinity Group was the first affinity group formally recognized by the ϳԹ (ϳԹ). We are guided by our mission to improve methods, measurement, and research & publication opportunities. Our vision is to elevate cross-cultural and multilingual research in public opinion and survey research.
Cross-cultural research explores the factors that shape our shared and unique experiences and is therefore relevant to us all. As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary in 2026, we invite you to engage, publish, and influence with us!
How to get started:
- Amplify one of our 10-year anniversary special events. See a from the ϳԹ 81st Annual Conference.

The Cross-Cultural and Multilingual Research Affinity Group is co-chaired by Mandy Sha, Patti Goerman, and Alisú Schoua-Glusberg.
Our motto: We can do it! We can do MORE. We can do MORE TOGETHER!
“We connect and elevate researchers, practitioners, and leaders to go further, bolder, and together. ALL ARE WELCOME!”
