TLDR
In this paper, the authors consider plausible non-altruistic alternatives for the observed empathy-helping effects, validly and reliably measure these non altruistic alternatives, and examine whether the empathy-associated helping is altruistic.Abstract:
To properly test the hypothesis that empathy-associated helping is altruistic, one needs to (a) consider plausible nonaltruistic alternatives for the observed empathy–helping effects, (b) validly and reliably measure these nonaltruistic alternatives, and (c) examine whether the empathy–helping relatread more

Self-discrepancy: a theory relating self and affect.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of how different types of discrepancies between self-state representations are related to different kinds of emotional vulnerabilities, and they predict that differences in both the relative magnitude and the accessibility of individuals' available types of self-discrepancies are predicted to be related to differences in the kinds of discomfort people are likely to experience.

Origins and Functions of Positive and Negative Affect: A Control-Process View.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the question of how affect arises and what affect indicates from a feedback-based view-point on self-regulation using the analogy of action control as the attempt to diminish distance to a goal, and proposed a second feedback system that senses and regulates the rate at which the action-guiding system is functioning.

Reinterpreting the Empathy-Altruism Relationship: When One Into One Equals Oneness
TL;DR: It is suggested that the conditions that lead to empathic concern also lead to a greater sense of self-other overlap, raising the possibility that helping under these conditions is not selfless but is also directed toward the self.
