English term or phrase: I.M. mindset (Generation Y)
Im Text geht es um eine Charakterisierung der "Generation Y". Leider handelt es sich nur um eine Auflistung, also kein weiterer Kontext vorhanden:
- born between 1980-1995
- Cyber Generation
- I.M. Mindset
- Things are expected instead of earned.

Weiss jemand, wofür I.M. stehen könnte? Das einzige, was mir hier in den Sinn kommt, ist "Instant Messaging" ... Vielen Dank zum voraus für alle Geistesblitze!

agree  Claudia Krysztofiak: auch hier: http://www.heise.de/tr/artikel/73097; Abkürzung IM (inoffizieller Mitarbeiter, aus DDR-Zeiten) aber wohl in Ostdeutschland missverständlich: http://www.aerzteblatt.de/v4/archiv/artikel.asp?src=heft&id=... darum wirklich besser ausschreiben
