It is very rare I show any cards - when I do it is for one of 2 reasons:
1. If I am getting away with a lot of plays due to a tight image at the table and I want to maintain that image I will show a strong hand.
2. I have been known to rarely show a hand out of sympathy for someone who has made tight fold - but again it would also be about maintaining a false tight image I have established.

I rarely show cards either. Apart from the situations explained by Debi its also pretty common, that people show a bluff, presumably with the intention of putting the person, they just bluffed, on tilt. But the problem with this is, that in tournaments its usually better to have fold equity than to have people "fight back" at you, because you tilted them. So in live cash games I can see a purpose for showing bluffs, but not so much in tournaments.

I like it when other folks show all of their hole cards after a big hand. If it’s appropriate in context to how the hand played out I will usually make a note about that player.
I’ve found player notes of past behaviour very useful at times. You don’t need a big data sample like with HUD stats.

Well, yes! This has also become a bad habit of mine recently, when I bluff, I show my cards as a joke. If I hurt the opponent, that's good for me. But I plan to never show my cards at the end of the party in the future, because that reveals what kind of player I am. it turns out for free. it's a bad habit. I recommend everyone to keep everything a secret and not show the cards!

Sometimes yes, but obviously most don't.
Strategically to keep the image strong, but I don't care so much about giving away information because I try to blend my actions.
It shouldn't be showing without a purpose, on the other hand, when I'm at a more fun table or among friends, we do it more often.
We must balance value betting and bluffing... of course we prefer to be on the value side.

In fact, it's okay to show some bluffing hands.

Depends really in the situation of a hand, or how the hand played out, for example if i had to make a big fold againt an agressive player
and lets say I have AQ suited i might have to show the Ace to make him know how im playing for him to think twice next time if hes just playing around.
