Why not bet the turn--i.e don't show weakness? My strong action on the flop followed by a check leaves me very open to being bluffed out on the turn. By not betting, I have no information on my opponent. Why not bet and probably fold to aggression? (at least then I can feel more confident that I'm not being bluffed by showing weakness)

Because with your flop c/r you already have the information that his hand is somewhat strong. You have a marginal hand here and you are OOP, you certainly don't want to play a big pot here, because you simply can't be very confident with your hand.
