Yesterday, Expedia released the results of their Passenger Preferences Index, a worldwide study conducted by consulting firm by Northstar.

From Expedia's Press release:
"67% of American travelers say they "avoid baggage fees at all costs," just under than the global average of 70%. 52% say they specifically pack lighter to avoid them. 57% of Americans avoid checking a bag so they will not have to wait at the baggage carousel. Almost one in two – 48% – do not check a bag out of fear it will be lost."
