Subsequent or resulting, which is better?

Two resultings have been used in a row. Can we use "subsequent" to replace the first resulting?

Context:
Original theoryAdorno, et al. (1950) viewed the authoritarian personality as having a strict superego that controls a weak ego unable to cope with strong id impulses. The resulting intrapsychic conflicts cause personal insecurities, resulting in that person’s superego to adhere to externally imposed conventional norms (conventionalism), and to the authorities who impose these norms (authoritarian submission). The ego-defense mechanism of projection occurs as indicated when that person avoids self-reference of the anxiety producing id impulse, by displaying them onto “inferior” minority groups in the given culture (projectivity), with associated beliefs that are highly evaluative (power and toughness), and rigid (stereotypy). Additionally, there is a cynical view of mankind and a need for power and toughness resulting from the anxieties produced by perceived lapses in society’s conventional norms (destructiveness and cynicism). Other characteristics of this personality type are a general tendency to focus upon those who violate conventional values and act harshly towards them (authoritarian aggression), a general opposition to subjective or imaginative tendencies (anti-intraception), a tendency to believe in mystic determination (superstition), and finally, an exaggerated concern with promiscuity.

Would anyone like to tell me what is "id impulses" in the first line of the context?

I would like to, but I am not sure I can. It seems to refer to the natural tendency to identify with other people's emotions, situations, conditions.

Thanks.
But we've got two "causes" been used too closely and successively.

Perhaps. In that case, you can replace one of them with another, similar word or phrase. A quick look with a thesaurus suggests lead to, which is a suitable replacement for the first cause. The sentence would be


"The resulting intrapsychic conflicts lead to personal insecurities, causing that person’s superego to adhere to externally imposed convent
