TaHN 36: Perceiving Personality Through Tattooing with Dr. Bill Chopik
Tuesday, 30 December, 2025
Dr. Bill Chopik (he/his/him) is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Michigan State University. He studies how close relationships—and the people in them—change over time and across situations. Dr. Chopik’s work examines phenomena as broad as how relationships and social institutions shape development and as focused as the mechanisms that underlie the link between close relationships and health. In 2017, Dr. Chopik was recognized as one of Forbes Magazine’s Top 30 Scientists Under 30 and has since been recognized as a Rising Star by the Association for Psychological Science. More information on Dr. Chopik can be found at chopiklab.com. The article referenced in the show is: Soulliere, B., Chopik, W. J., Carrillo, A., Campbell, W. K., Weiss, B., & Miller, J. D. (2025).
