Резюме	A single-blind fractional factorial experiment studies multiple factors simultaneously by testing only a strategically chosen subset — a fraction — of all possible factor-level combinations, while keeping participants unaware of which treatment condition they receive. This design yields substantial information about main effects and selected interactions at a fraction of the cost of a full factorial experiment, with single-blinding reducing participant-side response bias.	A factorial experiment is an experimental design in which two or more independent variables (factors) are manipulated simultaneously, and every combination of their levels is tested. Introduced by Ronald Fisher in the 1920s–1930s, it is the standard approach whenever a researcher needs to detect not only the main effect of each factor but also whether the effect of one factor depends on the level of another — the interaction effect.
