Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the relationship between the (scientific) theory and practice of preparing a diploma thesis in academic education (specifically, in the field of social sciences, as illustrated by psychology). The study presented here is of a methodological and synthesizing nature, and was prepared to fill the research gap observed in this area, using the analytical-synthetic method and the existing data analysis method. The author discusses a wide spectrum of aspects pertaining to the essence and functional significance of a scientific theory, its location in the subject matter literature, how to apply it while preparing a diploma thesis, and the methodology problems essential for this process.
