<jats:p><jats:bold>Purpose:</jats:bold> Investor sentiment, the willingness of market participants to invest, is a difficult concept to measure. Exploring the relationship between investor sentiment and stock returns can reveal how investor sentiment affects the operation of the stock market. Such an understanding can assist market participants in making more rational investment decisions based on market laws. Such an understanding can also assist regulators in their roles of supervision and policy making.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methodology:</jats:bold> Although the E-GARCH model has the advantage of considering volatility clustering, it has not previously been used to investigate the impact of investor sentiment changes on the Shanghai Composite Index's market return. This research therefore applies the E-GARCH approach to data from 2015 to 2018, to explore the influence of investor sentiment on the return rate of the Shanghai Composite Index.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Main Findings:</jats:bold> There are three main findings. First, when the investor sentiment is increased by the same amount, the rate of return before a stock market crash will have a smaller increase than the rate of change after the crash, which is a new finding. Second, the rate of return on stocks is susceptible to emotional sentiment, rather than simply depending on stock price. Third, the tendency of retail investors to follow the crowd is less in periods of pessimism than it is in periods of optimism, which, in turn, can push up stock yields.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Application:</jats:bold> Based on these research results, this article can provide insights to understand how investors' subjective judgments on future earnings affect their investment behavior and how great the impact is on the market. At the same time, it can help investors make more rational investment decisions based on an understanding of market laws, and help regulators with guidance for their supervision and policy making.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Originality/Value:</jats:bold> This paper contributes to the theory of the investor sentiment index, improving the index construction method by adding two sentiment proxy indicators: investor activity ACT and stock market leverage level. After constructing the sentiment index and comparing it with the stock market index (Shanghai Composite Index), the fit is found to be improved.</jats:p>
