Humans are no exception. Large people tend to be less hyperactive and don't need to assert themselves physically the way smaller people do. Before any social conditioning enters into the equation, large people tend to be more confident and sedate, and therefore more gentle.

At the same time, a small man losing control would cause bruises and might break some fragiles, while a 7-foot walking fridge could accidentally cause permanent damage far easier, especially after one or two cases where they ''do'' cause serious injury or damage.

This is indeed the case. The energy requirements aren\'t that much more nor are larger men that much safer in modern society.

It\'s not that large people are morally superior superhumans. This is a pretty universal concept in nature.

This trope is more often than not TruthInTelevision. Abnormally large people, especially those who became larger than average at a young age, have spent their entire lives with the knowledge that they could seriously damage or even kill those around them if they don't control their strength. Whereas a smaller person's loss of control might just leave someone with some bruises, a man the size of a refrigerator is likely to cripple someone in his rage. Most of the time, they've been taught by their parents to use their strength responsibly, and often they've had a few bad experiences where they seriously hurt those around them by accident, and become incredibly tender and gentle to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Obviously not all big people are like this, as bullies and sociopaths exist in all sizes, but someone seven feet tall and as wide as a door is a whole lot more likely to be gentle than mean.

There's simply less need for them to threaten or attack creatures around them. Smaller creatures, on the other hand, must worry more about being attacked. They have to be more diligent in presenting a strong front to dissuade potential predators.
# '''Energy''': It takes a lot of energy to move a large body around. Large creatures tend to move more slowly and have a slower metabolism. Smaller creatures, on the other hand, are quicker and lighter. They have more energy to engage in strenuous, aggressive behavior.
