In Endless Space, I can choose reactions that are "Selfish", "Helpful" or "Hostile". The "Helpful" options often benefit other empires, while the "Hostile" options often hinder them.
Do my choices have any affect on my diplomatic relationships with other empires?
- Will they notice that I chose to take a hostile stance, perhaps
reducing their research or production rate (for example)? - Will they be more happy if I choose to give everyone a boost?

I don't think so. AFAIK the events don't have any effect apart from what you see on the choice screen (and the subsequent screens, if it's a multi-choice event, or one with consequences of some sort).
EDIT: if you don't mind spoilers, here are the exact consequences of each of the events: http://endlessspace.wikia.com/wiki/Random_Events#Interactive_Events. none of them seem to have any effect on diplomacy, except for one 'static' event (no choice to make here) which sets all faction relations to peace.
