Socializing Ecological Psychology, Ecologizing Social Psychology: How Reuben Baron Shaped the Ecological Approach to Social Knowing, Cooperation, and Values

Here, we review three arcs of Reuben Baron's legacy at the intersection of social and ecological psychology: social knowing, cooperation and coordination, and ecological values. Throughout Baron's work and collaborations, he challenged scientists across ecological and social disciplines to consider new ways of bridging existing theories to more fully account for the breadth of social experience. He often provided suggestions for future research-including many that have yet to be fully explored. Our goal in this paper is to provide a summary of his pioneering work and suggest future directions to encourage others to carry on Baron's legacy.
