Against the backdrop of accelerating global transformations, intensified ideological competition and cultural conflicts have become increasingly prominent. How to strengthen youth cultural confidence through theoretical armament and address the challenges of the world and the times has emerged as a critical issue. This study employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to empirically examine the factors influencing youth cultural confidence through the “Two Combinations” theoretical framework. The research reveals that university factors dominate among multiple influencing elements. To effectively leverage the “Two Combinations” in enhancing youth cultural confidence, it is essential to reinforce universities’ primary role, optimize their curriculum systems, harness the functions of university-based mass organizations, and establish segmented groups for youth theoretical armament. These measures provide theoretical foundations and practical insights for overcoming the cultivation challenges of youth cultural confidence and improving the effectiveness of theoretical propaganda.
