Abstract

The concept of investor sentiment deals with the psychological attitudes the investor has toward the security of the fiscal market or a related certain situation; accordingly, different antecedents and determinants make-off that attitudes. The current paper explores antecedents for investor sentiment (IS) in Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) using investor sentiment index (ISI) utilising SEM approach. Data was collected through surveying 401 current and potential investors in ASE through no probability purposive sampling using a self-administrated questionnaire. SEM using AMOS was employed and the result reported that the suggested ISI sufficiently predicted IS in Jordan setting as explained 62% of the achieved variance; moreover, IC was identified as the strongest antecedent along with PC, whereas SC and MC were identified as negative antecedents, and accordingly, the implication was discussed.
