Sociology can be defined as the study of human society; as to how humans interact with one another, what are the different cultures, what are the norms and values of the society. In this regard sociology can overlap other social sciences like psychology, anthropology or even economics.
The basic relation is that all these sciences at some level are trying to figure out the different factors that form a society and the reasons behind these factors.
The main difference probably would be that in sociology everything is studied from a macro level taking human society and social interaction as a whole.
