Figure 1 demonstrates the SRE5 and the SRET scores over time for the full sample of 235 men. From T15 through T30 the SRE5 average scores were 3.3 (1.49), 3.1 (1.34), 3.1 (1.32), and 3.0 (1.16) (Time effect: F = 4.00, p <.008). The SRET values across those same time points were 4.2 (1.70), 4.0 (1.61), 4.1 (1.72), and 3.8 (1.41) (Time effect: F = 7.74, p <.001). Thus, both SRE5 and SRET scores decreased slightly over time, indicating the individual’s perception as they grew older that fewer drinks had been required for effects (i.e., they perceived more effect per drink) the first few times of drinking as well as for their SRET that included more recent timeframes. However, the change over the 15 years was a relatively modest ~9% for both SRE measures. The average correlation between SRE5 values across the four time points were .50 (p <.001), and for the SRET were .75 (p <.001).
