I think that at the point where you give them advice, if you identify with your actions, that action becomes part of your identity, so the responsibility-is-a-hack-on-identity (or is it the other way) hypothesis also predicts feelings of responsibility.

Hmm, that’s a good one. Your contract model seems reasonable enough. I’ll think about it some more.
