A negative self-concept is unlikely to encourage helping behavior. In fact, people who have low self-esteem or a negative self-concept may be less likely to help others because they may be more focused on their own problems and less motivated to help others. The other options - a norm of fairness, empathic arousal, and being in a good mood - are all factors that are likely to encourage helping behavior.
