Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'yeppity' means cheerful/energetic and 'attitude' means demeanor, so the combined meaning 'an upbeat, energetic demeanor' is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional pattern is routine in English and cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Yeppity attitude may come from a playful mix of the joyful shout yippee and the word peppy, so imagine someone jumping and smiling with extra energy. That's why yeppity attitude today means 'enthusiastic', 'lively', and 'upbeat'.
