A recent article by the Guardian UK now contains a requested correction stating same.
NPR had an article on Cliff’s depressing day this morning, complete with wrong credentials and a reference to his work being “science”.

You can see his qualifications from his webpage:

Furthermore, he’s nothing to do with the psychology department at Cardiff University, who happen to think he’s an arse (I should know, I used to work there).
In fact, he’s a part time tutor in the Adult Education Centre. The Adult Education Centre at Cardiff Uni are excellent, so God know why they put up with his nonsense.

Our self esteem might take a drop, and a remedy is urgently needed. Fortunately Dr Arnall formulas’ come to the rescue, mathematically proving we are not that bad at math after all, since we still remember you can’t add apples with pears, whilst someone with a doctorate has clearly forgotten it.
