I usually find research of cracked and other similar sites to be unpredictable. I always have to read the original source to have any reasonable level of confidence in their conclusions. Which defeats the purpose of reading sites like cracked for their conclusions at least.
Like in Gary 2010 cracked does not mention that in Experiment 2 where that the results between writing a story about help or harm are within each others error bars. In addition only Gary 2010 seems to be the only paper to be talking about Moral Transformation out of (Hung & Labroo 2011, Schubert 2004, Gray 2010).
Gary 2010 do not make compelling argument that moral transformation is the optimal way to think about these situations, it is however suggestive that something interesting is going on. Many articles like Gary 2010 make arguments that are suggestive that something interesting is going on, but fail to make their conclusions compelling.
If anybody takes the time to summarize the other articles, that would be nice! I feel guilty when i notice that skimming a comedy article is more fun than reading through a list of citations.

I support this effort to analyze the citations.
