In addition, there were several subjective measures that showed Phase, Phase × Dose or Phase × Group interactions. Overall, Beck Depression scores were significantly higher during the luteal phase compared to the follicular phase [Phase effect; F(1,43) = 6.81; p <0.02], whereas Vigor scores were significantly lower during the luteal phase [Phase effect; F(1,43) = 4.52; p <0.04]. Similarly, Arousal scores (Phase; p < 0.07) and Friendly scores (Phase; p < 0.08) tended to be lower during the luteal phase compared to the follicular phase. Alcohol produced greater dose-related increases in Good Drug Effect ratings [Phase × Dose interaction; F(2,86) = 3.2; p <0.05] during the luteal phase, whereas alcohol produced greater Tension-Anxiety scores [Phase × Dose interaction; F(2,86) = 3.30; p <0.05] during the follicular phase in both groups of women.
