I am not sure what it is called but there is a piece in  Rosenhahn' s 
recreation of the Milgram study where in this variation, subjects seated 
around a table and observing  the shocking and the scream began to walk out 
after one peron walked out.Rosenhahn concluded that this refusal to hang 
around and seeing subjects getting shocked modified

subsequent behavior

What's the psychological principle called when one person breaks off from 
the group and the other group members start to follow this dissenter?

Re: [tips] What's that called?

[Gerald Peterson]

Offhand, there are several factors that might promote a minority view becoming 
effective in countering a majority group opinion; such as credibility, 
"idiosyncrasy credit," consistency, etc. OR...you might be referring to 
resistance to group pressure, and factors that reduce group conformity 
impactsometimes described as the "Stonewall Jackson effect." he is supposed 
to have said, "one man with courage makes a majority." I am not sure it is an 
established, reliable principle, but I typically discuss this when speaking 
about group pressure, conformity, and factors that may lessen impact of 
perceived group consensus.  I am sure many of us can attest to the effects of 
both "minority opinions" as well as the role of the lone dissenter on academic 
committees.
