Abstract	Previous research Indicates soma relationships between Altruism, self-esteem and mood. The nature of the re lationship, however, Is not clear. Does feeling good about oneself make It likely that someone will help another individual or does helping another Individual make someone feel good? How are mood and self-esteem affected by this seemingly circular relationship? The purpose of this study was to Investigate this re lationship by examining the effects of self-esteem and mood on volunteering. We also investigated changes in self-esteem and mood as a function of volunteering for a task which had neutral, altruistic or egocentric incentives. The results showed that subjects with low self-esteem tended to volunteer less for a task with egocentric incentives. There were no sig nificant differences in mood between those who did and did not volunteer. We also found that the act of helping, whether altruistically or egocentrically motivated, significantly increased the self-report of transient mood states, but not the more enduring trait of self-esteem. No change was found in mood, or self-esteem, ratings for subjects in the control group, who were given no incentives for helping.
