概要	The Pilot Solomon Four-Group Design is a small-scale, preliminary implementation of the Solomon four-group experimental design. Its purpose is to test the feasibility and logistics of the full design before committing to a resource-intensive main study. The Solomon four-group design, introduced by Richard L. Solomon in 1949, controls for pretest sensitisation by using four groups — two that receive a pretest and two that do not — crossed with treatment and control conditions. Piloting this design allows researchers to estimate effect sizes, detect procedural problems, and verify that the pretest does not unduly influence posttest scores.	The Solomon Four-Group Design extends the classic pretest-posttest control-group design by adding two groups that receive no pretest, enabling researchers to detect whether the pretest itself alters participants' responses to the treatment. Introduced by Richard L. Solomon in 1949, it remains the gold standard for isolating the independent effect of a pretest and for obtaining unbiased estimates of treatment efficacy.
