He was a Fulbright Scholar twice, and a member of many professional and governmental panels, including the National Research Council Panel on Understanding and Control of Violence and the American Psychological Association's Commission on Violence and Youth, of which he was the Chair. He was a diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology and a fellow of the Academy of Clinical Psychology, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1980 he was given the APA award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Knowledge; in 1995 he received the American Psychological Foundation's Gold Medal Award for Lifetime Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest; and in 2003 he received APA's award for Distinguished Lifetime Contributions to Media Psychology.
