Finally, the results of the application of Confucian moral education thought in Civic Education were analyzed, including the analysis of the factors influencing the integration effect and the analysis of the results of psycho-social cognitive factors on the optimization of moral education strategies. The results show that the interaction coefficients of the three regression models of the exposure to Confucian moral education ideas and the effect of ideological and political education dissemination among college students are 0.7325, 0.4817, and 0.3885, respectively, and the coefficients of the interaction terms are all significant at the level of 0.05. The research in this paper has some reference value for promoting the development of moral education and the transmission of cultural values. © 2023 Mingrong Yi, published by Sciendo.
