We study, both analytically and numerically, the interaction effects on the skewness of the size distribution of elements in a growth model. We incorporate two types of global interaction into the growth model, and develop analytic expressions for the first few moments from which the skewness of the size distribution is calculated. It is found that depending on the sign of coupling, interactions may suppress or enhance the size growth, which in turn leads to the decrease or increase of the skewness. The amount of change tends to increase with the coupling strength, rather irrespectively of the details of the model.
