Yes why not. It depends on the scenario. I recommend to you our paper related to trust calculation and variation in different scenarios. Our contributions is based on VANET, but it possible to adapt them for WSN.

If you are focusing on the trust management and incentive mechanisms you can read this paper :

If you are dealing with detection and monitoring of selfish nodes you can read this paper where the contribution focus on the time overhearing optimization.
