They found that shorter dogs had higher levels of "owner-directed aggression, begging for food, urine marking and attachment/attention-seeking". In other words, based on this one study smaller dogs really are more aggressive, at least in certain circumstances.

Plus, big dog bites are reported more often than small dog bites. Dogs tend to bite because they are scared, threatened, stressed, protective, possessive, sick, startled or playing. It's up to you to socialize your dog at a young age so they feel comfortable in a variety of settings and will, therefore, be less likely.
