Scientific review on the concept of the 5 domains. The first 3 domains (food, physical environment and health) concern factors that can affect an organism's internal stability, and lead to so-called "survival-critical" affects, resulting in genetically-integrated behavioral responses. The 4th domain (behavioral interactions), generates "situation-related" affects, resulting in conscious behavioral choices. All of these contribute to the 5th domain, ie the mental state of the animals.
