Population aging requires specific care. This study aimed to describe and compare indicators of affective experiences of institutionalized and non-institutionalized older adults, based on the Pfister Colored Pyramids Test (CPT), in relation to normative data available for the age group. A total of 50 older adult volunteers from the state of São Paulo, mean age 73.6 years (± 8.3), of both sexes, with elementary education and of average-lower economic levels, were individually assessed (G1 = 25 institutionalized; G2 = 25 non-institutionalized). They answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the CPT. The choices and chromatic syndromes of CPT of G1 and G2 were compared (Student's t-test, p ≤.05, Cohen's d), with no statistically significant differences being identified. However, when compared to the normative data, G1 presented statistically significant differences in the variables: blue, violet, yellow, brown, gray, Stimulus and Colorless Syndromes. It was possible to highlight particularities in the affective experiences of the older adults associated with institutionalization.
