Final answer:

Individuals with non-fatphobic anorexia nervosa and individuals with ARFID would perform similarly on measures of weight bias.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking whether individuals with non-fatphobic anorexia nervosa would perform similarly to individuals with avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) on measures of weight bias. Thomas et al. (2013) proposes this statement to be true.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by maintaining a body weight well below average through starvation and excessive exercise. Individuals with anorexia nervosa often have a distorted body image and view themselves as overweight even when they are not. Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a recently recognized eating disorder characterized by a limited range of accepted foods and a lack of interest in eating. Both disorders involve a disordered relationship with food and body image, which can lead to weight bias.

Therefore, individuals with non-fatphobic anorexia nervosa and individuals with avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) would be expected to perform similarly on measures of weight bias.
