People's attitudes can be classified in two different ways. Motives can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Marnie's story, in this case, gives us a clear example of both kinds of motivation that are given in the reading passage.
Intrinsic motivation is when you perform an activity to have a personal reward. As an example, Marnie, since she was a child, loved to sing and used to sing in every moment of her life. She was always ready to sing and was always invited to make concerts and perform in public.
Extrinsic motivation is when your performance is related to an external reward. As the example given in the lecture, when Marnie was older, she did not feel like she loved to sing, but she was always expected from the audience. Then, a producer invited her to sing professionally and gave her the opportunity to earn a big amount of money. She accepted the offer of the producer even not enjoying singing as she used to when she was younger.
The story about the girl Marnie, in summary, gives an example about extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. When she sang because she loved what she was doing, the motivation is classified as intrinsic. But when Marnie started singing for money, the motivation is extrinsic.
