The first experiment is clearly suspect. I strikes me as equally like the people who washed their hands held themselves, and society, to a higher standard than those who didn't and thus where harsher in theory judgments.
In the later two, I'd like to see if the result differed greatly by having students read passages about how smart/stupid they were or how attractive/ugly they were.
