Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently composed from 'social' (relating to society/others) + 'psychology' (the study of mind and behavior), yielding the field that examines social influences on thought and behavior. This modifier+field pattern is common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Social psychology joins social (about other people) and psychology (the study of the mind). Imagine a person who changes how they think or behave when other people are nearby; that's why the term means the study of how people think, feel, and act 'around others'.
