The best explanation for Waldron's nervousness and Ferris's confidence is that Waldron has appraised the experience of presenting as more threatening than Ferris. This suggests that Waldron perceives some sort of danger or risk associated with the presentation that Ferris does not. It is not about conflict or cognitive dissonance, and there is no evidence that either perceives it as positive or negative.
