Jorge does not experience a strong stress response to public speaking, but Dan does. Which factor most likely causes this difference?

Past experiences can shape how someone responds to a stressful situation.

Being smarter or nicer does not explain the difference, and the question gives no reason to conclude that Jorge has a mental illness.
